Summer lives
in a peach colored house
with fishing poles
against the wall.
Summer bikes
with mosquito-bit legs,
plays scratch-off cards
and volleyball.
Summer's sister is
on a date.
her brother
works on his car.
Crickets whir and
twighlight comes
from the middle
of their yard.
Her mother tucks
the ocean in.
Her father turns
the soil.
Sweat shines
from her brother's brow.
He smells of salt
and motor oil.
