sea dreams

a house by the beach
where i can hear the ocean swim through the rooms
drafty and full of echoes
it's a place where the salt sticks to the windows
and there is a chill in the evening

my window sills will be littered with driftwood and shells
the sunlight will catch jars of sea glass
in the hallway, there will be backpacks and small shoes
and upstairs there is a dollhouse and piles of legos

our bedroom is quiet and large
here, we will get cold at night and have to tangle up in eachother
and listen to the pounding surf

this is a place where i can write poetry and take pictures
in between making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
and doing the endless laundry
this is a place to have a family.
