I really like the use of the word 'casting' in the fourth line; how it has two meanings, or how several images come to mind, in that context, and how one distances the narrator from that result of shedding and how another forms a shape of it that can't be ignored. It's like relinquishing control over a feeling. A formative loss wrapped into one word.
(I thought maybe the 's could be taken off the end of 'another' in L10, just cause with the line break being there, it seems to me unnecessary).

but without the 's it wouldn't be possessive, and not meaning someone else's skin.

Yeah I suppose 'casting' can be used in both contexts, never really thought about that.
Thanks for your concise comment, Merda.

I love the repetition of, " the skin is a Pilgrim ". It gives the poem a body.
The, " casting a mountain " is clever in the writing .. then continuing the " shed the mountain " is also clever.
I love it.

I'm really chuffed you love it, clio.

Thanks for the praise.

Love it, are you Muslim?

Haha, no.

Though I do have a couple of little carpets. What made you think that from the poem?

I loved the built-up of this poem. like a complete philosophy slowly in progression.
n u had kept in not long! amazingly short to convey .
 n a message emerging finally..can't pick out a favourite line or stanza..as each one stands dependant on its previous..
