Bit by bit,

of velvety decadence.
A gush took it over
of the wind; disheveled.
With it modesty,
animosity, affections
passionately, fluttered.

I saw what was left,
unraveled
uninhibited;

A couple of comments I would have for you is about word choices.
L-4 coy- I believe you did not mean; “to hold back details” (which is one definition of of coy).
I think you were alluding to something akin to a woman's attributes. If that were the case would you consider instead of coy- flirtatious
L-10 Last word- disheveled - gives the feeling of having lost its decadence (as described in the previous line) by the wind. Then L-11 strong attributes are re-associated with the piece of thread. L-13 passionately, fluttered- so the dilemma for me is; “how can a disheveled thread now flutter passionately?”
Lastly these words do not seem to fit together well: L-11 and L-12 -modesty, animosity, affections-
Modesty- is that shyness -from first section- gentleness, smooth, coy (that was a good choice of word to continue the feel of the piece)
Animosity- to harbor ill will- it feels like a disassociated characteristic (was not revealed earlier in the work)
Affections- animosity could be a type of affection, same as gentleness. Wouldn’t using the word affections, be somewhat redundant following anomosity and gentleness?
Thank you for the read I did enjoy it.
