Crow, You could draw out 'slowly' better. Perhaps, either:
slow-
ly
-or-
s
l
o
w
l
y
-or-
Slow--
ly
I am not sure.
I believe the list of adjectives, 'wormy thread, sky lost, looming heavenly, cursed, dreadful' in the closing of your first stanza are a bit much. Maybe...
'scratching loose a wormy thread,
sky lost and looming.'
...would fare better, emphasizing both mood and the alliteration.
I was a bit befuddled by the 'was, was, was here' line in stanza two. See what you think.
That's all for now./Chris
