there and back again

poetry, thoughts, book reviews, travelogue...


My name is Evelyn, and in addition to writing I enjoy painting and drawing. I specialize in portraiture, and you can find my work at elizavetarose.deviantart.com. Also, I’m kind of a dork. Find dork me at leclairage.tumblr.com...

Sun Burned

Sun burned,

I sail into the bay.

Behold the battleships,

bringing our slain boys back.

Still broken soldiers,

with sore bruises, 

they search for a soft body, 

and a sliver of bacon.

 

The black ship soot is on my soles,

and my bathing suit like burnt sienna

In the sunbeams

that bounce, like baby spiders 

bungee jumping.
