This was so spot-on, and love how you personified the sea. As i was reading the crickets and porches and heat, I assumed you were in the midwest, until you were talking to the sea. . . August must be similar in many locales

Indeed. I'm about 9k km from the American midwest too!

Even better!! Where are you located? Otherwise, I guess i can always find a map and just extend a scaled thread in a 9k km radius!

I'm blue and sunny, and I rhyme with "spiteful or stupid". What am I?

Beautifully written and crafted. I loved 'subtle scratches'. A lovely metaphor for the marks that experiences leave on us as we go through life.
