Cape Cousins
A Summer Worth Repeating Sonnet
How seven years of innocence escapes?
Since the inlet from the house through the reeds
Kids roaming breakers at the beauty gates
Adventure and friendship our ocean feeds
Dolls in the turret I know we still share
Magic aunts create forts of the blankets
Grandpa waiting steak scallops and lobster
Ice cream ready for laughs on the sunsets
Climb past the destiny schools and their clocks
To get back for Walt's boat and fair pilgrims
Right now it seems we never left these rocks
Meet us here, all this love, country cousins
Time holds our castles and clams by the sea
August I hug you and you shall hug me
