With all eyes on the stage
while it pulls at its lips
drawn open to expose its dais
A hanged figurine is lowered
tiny nooses that have arrested
all joints: shimmering spider-like
sinews – the would be muscle
behind the clockwork limbs
limber and folding,
in some ways a Slink
at times just a Nudge
insinuating an Ambulatory nature
the posturing of Kings
a demi-plea, an En dedans
pulled by the stark ( _ ) In The Grass
: A true nervous system.
What is flammable has rapt our eyes
as we wrapped ourselves in the lie;
O! what a shock to find
our dancer is not muffled
just an epithet
for the shadow in the rafters.
I don't know if this is done. I stopped writing which is usually a good indicator, but the piece doesn't have that "period" feel. Let me hear it all guys and gals: finished?

I'd say it could be done if you were to perhaps split some stanzas or maybe even experiment with indentation and punctuation. Sometimes that all it takes. BUT, I must say, it kicks ass regardless :deviation:
