Kitchen Is Open A Hawaiian sun blisters fine grains of beached sand, unaware to some assured wandering of tender soles stumbled swiftly altering run judiciously Prepared bodies rotisserie spirals evenly baked oily skins glistened among beads of slippery sweats gliding loosely suitably turning perhaps sleepy retreat reading Dripping sunlight rising sunbathers the conclusive plunge followed by towel rubdowns prompt a thorough cleanup by everybody there final examination kitchen's closed. 2021 January 13 *1st Place* Trinet ~~Joseph May
