river flow
a picket fence dream
a burning summer
the grass higher than it should be,
an ocean in an inflatable ring
kids splashing around as the dogs shaking dry,
music gently crawling
from the house into the garden,
I’m on the soft drinks with the kids
wine and vodka for the rest of them,
then I wake with a start, a jump
I’ve fallen asleep in front of the tv again,
it wasn’t my garden, kids or pool
it was all just a cruel picket fence dream,
Liked or faved by...
