    Hi Kite Horse--
    You used the word flayed, just as I did...different context.

    I really like your imagery and matter of factness of it.

    Thanks--

    These images continue to expand with more reading. I see shifts and layers of meaning in prey/predator relaltionships, and some old Dutch paintings too. Wonderful!
