Game

Room is my only measure
stanza of footsteps
my sole parameter

My decks of dust
filter the sunlight
fall in hands of dread

To see me is to hang
inside my frame
and you can never leave

  1. I liked this.

    Wonder if you moved "hang" to end of previous line, you then have the mimeticism of "hanging" between lines.
    The first stanza is strong.
    You have one full stop (only)-is this what you want ? Could punctuation be eradicated completely ?

    I really like the atmosphere you have created- she has the power and as with James' poem you invoke "you" but this time at the end. Who is "you" ?
