THOSE BEACHED

The beach reaching into blue glass

Firing our feet into red pottery


You lay with your tits out

Feeling great as a cow on holiday


Lovers canoodle in the left eye

Dogs pant rampant in your right ear


A thought swims how can you be a writer

When there’s bread to be won?


That sun is cooking you something proper

Baking your eyeballs black


Those dogs look snarling hungry

Your tits are shrivelled paps


No wonder there’s no milk in your words

Your smooth human clay is drying cracked


Get a sexy beer from a beach comber

Dribble it into the hot glass


Swim out

Think about possibly going back

It is always a possibility
