My Lucifer Poem: "Cast Off"

"Cast Off"
Lauren Young

You're appealing like the flaky
skin of a sunburn.
The rind of the orange
I'm peeling spirals down
Like Lucifer's disgraceful banishment
from Heaven --
Just like the rind that is tossed
Into the trashcan so I can feast
On the juicy pulp that oozes in my fingers.
