weirdly I found this piece amongst scrap paper with no recollection of writing it ,but I had at some point....so here it is...

Wretched form

so 

sad to 

          see

stitched muscle

 devoid 

 of

 dignity

ulysses who delved in 

     warmth

the cooing calls me forth

a child.

of skin....

and salt

Lips won't incite

a reply

senses

    meander

          so shy

a hunt for the shadows that crave

the side of the soul

I was ripped from

a child of skin...

and salt

foolish 

  pulp

     asks the question

         is malevolence devoid of obsession?

 lilt through worlds of the living

  in vain search

of

   a final purpose

a child of skin

and salt.

Thine ally 

The rue ...

the throe of mine bosom

 I grow 

       drowsy  

           as a feather 

 careful  

     to confide 

the  Convulsed abide

 a child 

        carried on the surface

the nymphs lap my

                            ankles

and carry me into their arms

a child of skin.

and salt....

Thoroughly enjoyed this interesting poem, it keeps me thinking of all meanings hidden or not within these verses, trully wonderful. I wonder what does the main character refers to when the words "child of skin... and salt" are spelled, but I will read this over to see if I get it better along with the whole poems meaning.
Definitively my favorite stanza:
"foolish
pulp
asks the question
is malevolence devoid of obsession?
lilt through worlds of the living
in vain search
of
a final purpose

a child of skin
and salt."
The idea of a question asking, the usual lack of purpose and the question itself referring to malevolence are great.
Excellent poem.

I absolutely love this ''a child of skin and salt'', and..(excuse my bad description) Shakespearean bit is fantastic and your layout,seems to incite confusion in the reader.
Well soddin done X
