Citronella, bug-dope
child hood memories,
bug juice and
dark cold swimming holes,
water to numb the toes
stubbed on granite stepping
stones
bloody knees from bumpy, back roads
loose-dirt bike wipe-outs,
temporary tears needing tending
grownups visiting on screened porches,
strong drinks in paper cups
fireflies and croquet and bad mitten
late into smoky, crickety, laughing mosquitoey
nights
