Summer used to mean...
time with the kids,
a pool full of children,
family night swims,
family game night-
anything with at least 3 people.
Now, summer means....
quiet and slow
time alone
echos and
visions of
hula hooping,
a chalk-filled driveway,
aerials across the front yard,
constant splashing in the pool,
fire pits and s'mores,
flying soccer balls,
ghosts of the past.
I am haunted
everywhere I turn,
and summer's
meaning has changed.
