Maggot-Go-Round.

By Strataic

She--


Was Hal-f-
Torn.


When carousel
Cabinets; whirled
Ferociously around.


A mouse-
Of maggot--butterflies.

It seethes here...


She-- was just-

Rustling, her carrier-bag.
Weeps.

From useable filaments.

    I actually felt that the hyphens didn't work for me. I found myself over enunciating... like "hal-eff", reading it as two separate words. I feel that there's too many hyphenations. I think the line breaks would be sufficient, sans hyphens.

    Your structuring style lends well to this piece. The hyphenations help accentuate certain parts, 'Hal-f- Torn'...I like it, your writing is interesting and original. Poetic work here, cool post -NN
