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
