Red and wet and soft
Welts and scars and bruises
Pink with heat
White with fear
Flushed with anticipation

Slap, pinch, cut
Worship the alter of flesh
The change of it
Smooth
Then textured
With cruel intentions
And sweet surrender

Canvas
Not white
But blank
Painted with ink
Or blood
Marked with hands
Or steel

Malleable
Adaptable
Skin

I liked

some of this, but the words keep contradicting themselves: skin is red, then pink, then white. Images have to have a consistency for a poem to work. Nevertheless, there is much to like here. You have a good sense of rhythm, which I hope you will develop. Please write more.
