The Skin-Sack
Mina Loy
1882 to 1966
The skin-sack
In which a wanton duality
Packed
All the completion of my infructuous impulses
Something the shape of a man
To the casual vulgarity of the merely observant
More of a clock-work mechanism
Running down against time
To which I am not paced
My finger-tips are numb from fretting your hair
A God's door-mat
On the threshold of your mind
Mina Loy's The Skin-Sack
I am busy working to bring Mina Loy's "The Skin-Sack" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Mina Loy's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Skin-Sack" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
