A beautifully large, rambling house
Silly children spilling out of rooms
Screaming, playing, laughing
Spending the seasons with los primos. Secrets, whispers, and giggle-fits
Dozing mostly into morning light
Malibu Barbie and VHS under the tree
Christmas pancakes as the snow flaked. Scary storms whipping in springtime
The ancient tree knocking windows
Toys bobbing from basement floods
Rubber botas stuck dry in the front lawn. Screaming laughter, endless chases
Fishi
