Salty kisses
Puppy lick-es
galloping children
Sunset waves.
Watermelon rinds spent
on star spangled porches
Red, white, blue..
and
green…
green green grass and beach roses
waft
mixed in with kettle corn and carnival
laughter
*pop!*
your prize delivered to outstretched fingers
sticky with happiness
clutch close to your chest
this summer day
as you sleep content
on the ride home
