Sunburnt Seductress


  Blisters on her shoulders shine, stars shooting
  Tropical oil atop taut ceramic 
  Grit of bovine bone sand grinds, beach beauty
  Groomed grey by sea flaky pastry panic

  Cracked glaze icing ocean rolls relentless 
  Spills tsunami trauma over mollusc
  Drags drama to harmless shell, defenceless 
  Untreated ulcer explodes, popped polyp

  Gapes gradually,  a cosy crimson cave
  Cooks cops, six hundred degrees celcius 
  Brave baking sunbather, firing depraved
  Sordid are buried by her, healthiest 
  
  Grains stockpile, Gestapo ogres, exiled
  Gives laughter back to languid mermaid child




      
        Second of October 
        
          Sent overboard 
         Seductress' oven
