sunny sunday
day of humid heat n burning rays
people gather at temple
packed in like canned fish
to celebrate an older couples nuptials
my wife plays the keys
i sit with my spiritual sister
and supervise the children
ek content to be social
nk running in and out
around and through
like a lost skunk looking for a place to rest
ritual begins
songs sung
words read
prayers chanted
couple wed
food consumed
toasts made
we depart as the heat increases
sister heads to the port
ek ck nk and i climb aboard the chariot
head to the north
following the magnets
celebrate the anniversary of the youngest cousin
children party
ck chats
i fall asleep on couch
mind dipping in and out of consciousness
having enjoyed a beer
and allowed the summer to have her way
head home through the early afternoon
children watch screen
wife collapses
i float around
finding nothing to do
sister arrives
drinks drunk
pizza eaten
children dip in cold water of a neighbours pool
sleep in heat of a february night
ck i and sister
encamp
read
watch
talk
smile
collapse
