Sun tan

Dragged onto his life,
sweat soaked
tanned and tarred,
sun baked

For every step that
he would take
would bring home bread,
oh heaven’s sake

And so he pulled
his cart ahead
his 60s figure, five
tummies fed

While hundreds bathed

In the beach sun

He smiled away with

‘A perfect tan’

I love to read. Writing is a trait I received from my parents who write in Malayalam. My dad has a series of published stories to his credit. I am just a learner, to be even a drop in the huge ocean of write-ups is a blessing.
