Pareawa's summer

Remember when we were in the ice-cold water,

screaming and laughing?

Remember the ice from your drink melting on your

tongue while we watched my older sister

helping my younger sister float on her back?

That was summer.

Remember when you jumped into the car

and started to sweat?

Remember moaning because it was so hot

you couldn’t move?

That was summer.

Remember the high pitched screams

when Dad chucked you into the pool?

Do you remember when you and me

were laughing so hard?

That was summer.
