How my body feels in Vietnam

Coconut water drips out of its’ husk

Sticking to my hands and the sand on my legs

that won’t let go.

A pink nose from grinning in sunshine

and hard skin on my feet from running

like a flamingo on hot sand.

A flip flop tan between my big toe,

reaching down to my pinky

with its’ chipped nail varnish.

Perma-perspiration-stickiness on your skin

from the gorgeous humidity.

Spectacle and goggle marks on your face.

The low level churning in your stomach from

too many nights on the sauce

and that holiday romance

where you might have got a bit smitten...
