We eased the canoe ashore
and smelt the car’s air freshener
differently.
Pepper roamed the woods
with a lazy tongue, collar clanging
warnings to the untrained squirrels.
Father set up our tent
in a needle bedded clearing
while I tended to the plumbing
in a hole out back.
A cliff near our camp
jutted straight from the water,
so we cooled off in the waves
of a twenty foot plunge.
