risa de pelo suelto

Non-PRO Homework / test Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting Cuento de Silvina Ocampo
Context: El cordón de un zapato negro se desató, y fue una zancadilla sobre otro pie de la pllera furiosa. Y de nuevo surgió una risa de pelo suelto, y la voz negra gritó, haciendo un pozo obscuro sobre el suelo: “¡voy a matarte!”. Y como un trueno que rompe un vidrio, se oyó el ruido de jarra de loza que se cae al suelo, volcando todo su contenido, derramándose densamente, lentamente, en silencio, un silencio profundo, como el que precede al llanto de un chico golpeado.
