We always celebrated Independence day
around water.
Grandpa either drove us
to Lake Carl Blackwell
or to The Lake,
outside of Blackwell, Oklahoma.
The sights and sounds
of exploding cherry bombs
and Roman candles
decorate memories of my childhood.
Each time I see
a fireworks display
because the patriotic colors
bring back fond memories.
