packing for college
a pause
to enjoy the backyard pool

 

 

 

 



books and dice
papers, encroaching on
the friends at the table

 

 

 



the dog is panting in the shade
watching the children
naked in the sprinklers

 

 

 

 



wiggling caterpillar
still
in her hands

 

 

 



grilled cheese and chlorine
provided by Poppy
a hot summer's day

 

 

 

 



parents just don't understand
teen angst is too real
I just want to be alone
