Fleshed With Power

Susan Stayer
Flesh

In his poem "Cherrylog Road", James Dickey refers to a motorcycle as "a bicycle fleshed with power":

And I to my motorcycle
Parked like the soul of the junkyard
Restored, a bicycle fleshed
With power, and tore off
Up Highway 106, continually
Drunk on the wind in my mouth,
Wringing the handlebar for speed,
Wild to be wreckage forever.
