Cicadas singing in the sycamores,
Pavement hot and the open doors,
Screens loosely set.
Sprinklers,
Ch, ch, ch, ch, chicking;
Children jumping,
Wet and dripping,
Dodge ball,
Kick the can,
Hide and seek,
Amongst evening firefly light.
Slipping finally,
Into cool, crisp sheets,
To dream,
Of another summer day
Vacation.
