Day 154 of the 365 day poem challenge.
Word of the day scourge meaning: "a person or thing that causes great trouble or suffering."
Idyll
Lay on the compact sand
Feel the grains on your back
Turn the scorch of the sand
The scotch skin
Ready to kiss and drink
Blistered red eyes
And running noses
Breasts latched and sweating
Droopy in the sun
Everything is in heat
It is the breaking sort
That wears down flappy straw hats
And sets people striding out
Into the icy salt scourge of the sea
Meanwhile welts around tan lines
Sunglasses adjusted
Bums hanging up in the air
Waiting for eyes to latch onto them
Bikinis conceal and open up
Fleshy footholds for the eyes
Horizon blurry
Sounds of wisps and waves
Dancing smacking and suckling
The idyll continues to lie unperturbed
scotch skin
Giving way to sores and bright
Fluorescent red.
