D among the Consonants

Your quivering carnation flesh resents
the burnt sienna sack in which it’s clothed.
Free yourself from those ashen pigments.
Your body is not chattel to be loathed.

***
From Among the Consonants in The Skin of Things

I sought more than paltry song.
… I am through with you,  my muse
now that you are done with me.
