Edge

 Sharing with The Sunday Muse #202 in memory of my grandmother and her dedication to family vacations (and her determination to make sure we behaved The Entire Time).  

Remember the pool, the cigarette smell

After the highway's Cadillac swell

turn bone, turn bone, turn bone

split second, split air, sharp thrown

turn bone, turn bone, turn bone

Paper-hatted glasses, lights' yellow bloat;

Recall carbonation's knife at the throat

turn bone, turn bone, turn bone

split second, split air, sharp thrown

turn bone, turn bone, turn bone

A wasp on a tissue, a sting to the knuckle

Vacations gone in a rueful chuckle

turn bone, turn bone, turn bone

split second, split air, sharp thrown

turn bone, turn bone, turn bone

Once again the photo on a dim hotel wall

In an album left in the dark of the hall.

turn bone, turn bone, turn bone

split second, split air, sharp thrown

turn bone, turn bone, turn bone
