Mountain Pools (Freeverse)

A hot sun-filled afternoon one summer. We kids playing in raucous laughter as waterfalls break the glassy stillness. The mountain pool in rocky crevice, Pepsi bottles cooling all day, Carlsberg too, closer to the edge. Mother calls lunch, her voice dry and empty is shouting. A young woman then, barely dressed, bikini revealing sunburnt skin and she is holding a babe in her arms. The waterfall echoed her thunder we children went on swimming, the ice waters foamed with our laughter, the icy waters foamed with play. A hot sun-filled afternoon one summer. We kids playing in raucous laughter as waterfalls break the glassy stillness.
