Twisted forks hanging from a fabrication I think the poem could lose "from a fabrication", it's such a general word for your precise description and "hanging" would make a nice break.
Alongside flattened spoons maybe a comma
Dangling by threads fed through there souls their souls.
They dance when the wind blows I think you might lose "when the wind blows" if you'd like to keep gusts below.
Their collisions creating vibrations with every gust You might rework this line, "creating" reads wordy, like filler the poem doesn't need.
Melody comes to being, an entity unto itself Maybe everything after "melody" could be condensed into just the right word or two.
Patterns, beautifully and harmoniously chaotic The poem could lose "beautifully", harmoniously says it.
Bring forth joy in balance.
