47th on my blog is Shatter the Moon now on Amazon. In a small town in Oklahoma, a funeral takes place, years after Charlie and Katie Lynn failed in their effort to run away together. Charlie, in the U.S. Navy ends up on a river boat in Vietnam. Katie Lynn marries Blaine, who she knew from when she was young. With letters from Vietnam from Charlie, the story brings into focus one summer night in 1968, which impacted the lives of all of those involved..

Grandpa at the Idanha Hotel, Boise Idaho
GRANDPA AT THE IDANHA HOTEL
Grandpa at the Idanha
One Saturday night.
In front of an old mirror.
He boogied,
He stretched,
Turned around.
Did a limbo rock
Up/down the stairs,
Turning all around.
His grandson,
In bright red knickers,
Doing the same,
The best he could.
Facing the same mirror,
Turning around,
Up/down,
Round and round.
To Gene Harris on piano,
And Larry Boyd on bass.
