Turn

Inside the line,
and the Ballade Pour Adeline.
Keeping time,
left hand for the melody.
Working week,
night times booked for ever.
Sun-roofed Fiesta Ghia
regardless of the weather.
Months in Melbourne,
Lebanese pizza.
Turn, turn, turn,
milk of magnesia.
Right hand off by heart,
steady on the pedal.
Begin again, another start,
a single cup and kettle.
Salmon cakes and dauphinoise,
sean-nós dance.
Piano Paul in Shamrock Lawn,
smoking ban.
Moving to a different key,
a semiquaver rest.
The Ballade Pour Adeline,
game and set.
