Lifeguarding

By Poe Etiquette



Flabby flesh-drenched puddles
Cultivated by wrinkled soles
Spreading into the safety
Of shadows encroaching on
The evening's bloated enjoyment


Over-indulgent anorexia extends
Supple digits through depth
Nimbly seeking another body
To hold its bared caging together


Soggy balloon bellies
Obey the current and fluctuations
Buoyed by its tug
And I'm drifting
My gaze
From sea to sagging sea


Various samples of pleasure
Slip between my cartilage
Polyester flaps the hints
Of urine against the
Blind racing thighs
Clacking to the cadence
Of ripples slapping tile
Where bright frocks wet
pressed on virgin-pale anatomy
Like giggling tightwire
Bob with anticipation
Of mother's arms
