warm summer night
I am taught again
how things used to be

blanket of grass
dreams of summer
fill my head

lies belly up,
tongue lolling to the side

summer morning
no alarm clock
Hallelujah

dreams of summer
fill my head

the guard dog
lies belly up,
tongue lolling to the side

blowing dust
off the sketch
 

reclining in the van
dozing off warm and content
to my dad's voice

lots of laundry
in the back
I drive home

first day of summer
the little girls
dust off the jump rope

our tiny fort
refuge
from dish-washing

we stop to rest

floating rainbow
I leap from the water
