The universe has knees that glow,
The devil's frown among them.

Time's fabric sewn to hem them.
One devil('s) or many? Frown....verb or noun? Makes sense both ways, even though the sense is non-sensical. So what? I can "see" the surreality of it.
...frown amongst? Can you be amongst two...maybe between, but not amongst two knees...we are as yet in the singular universe mode so I go for just two knees. Aw the hell, it's your poem, your universe can have as many knees as you see fit.
Paths are "stacked" or "tacked"? For me, it's now multiverse time...and turtles can be stacked one on the other, all the way down. So I would go with "Our paths are tacked, row on to row". Your poem, but stacking rows is beyond my visualising skills...Turtles? That's a different matter.
That last line is the rub because you bizarrely continue with this odd device of capitalising every line. Quite apart from the seamstress metaphor only just muddling through to the end, the isolation of the last line from the rest is made more apparent by the capital letter at the start.
To a lesser degree, though made affirmative by the period end of L2, there is a break of metaphoric significance between the two couplets which I find hard to overcome....but I put that down to my autism (or so my wife says).
