Beach Bulge (158 of 365)

Day 158 of the 365 day poem challenge.

Word of the day Pulchritude meaning: "physical beauty, especially of a woman."

Beach Bulge

On the wide open sand lying
In pulchritude 

Unbound and unconstrained
Fleshy sacks floppy and free
drooping and lazing and bopping at play 

Lying in glorious ecstasy the sand between toes dotted with 
Warts and calluses from the sun 
Blisters massaged in salt and sweat

The red hot heat sears 
Leaving the foppish meaty bottoms swollen like ripe nectarines 
And their polyester latex lines 
Brown, orange, red, pink, off-White, beige, yellow and black 

The beach goers retire 
Their sunscreen ointment oily skin
Has become a film
Each fold and roll and lump and vein is visible like a painting in the heat
And somehow it is all forgotten 
As they retreat shirts on towels in hand
Their feet cantering over the smouldering white sand
