Peach Bum
Before me, a composition
of naked fruit.
A still life,
an eye pleasing picture
placed perfectly
on yolk yellow sands.
Set against a sea;
a water colour wash
framed by balmy blue.
Long limbs are lapped
with wayward waves.
Hands that traced
the treasure's breast,
are stilled, at his side.
Juice filled and flavoursome,
his ripened flesh and downy skin
are fresh and golden bloomed.
The peach bum.
A rich tableau no studio
could provide.
