'Summer Break' by Jeanne Troncao-Heath

Splash! The fork drops into the sink of bubbly dishwater. 
The dog, curled at her feet, breathes deeply, paddling its feet in a dream. 
Slowly, she sponges the plate clean. Citrusy fragrance tickles her nose. 
A butterfly flits past the window.
Children’s laughter reaches her ears. Smiling, she looks up and watches her child jump into the pool for the tenth time. 
Splash!
