Kerri Shying R - # 581 discount me for the irregularity of size

salt me   take me fresh  then lay me
swift    another layer  to the boxed
curated   sets  of the wishful  and
the wounded  the keen seers  sniff
testers   unscrewing all the lids

discount me for the irregularity of size

what odours might have clung throughout
a long careen of odious    endeavour 
the walks  in fields of ordure   still
the flesh   is firm enough for feast   old
enough to bleed   and butcher
