Paper Dolls

[ellajam]

Hi, moot, welcome to the site. Some thoughts:

Paper dolls,
cut to please.
In perfect rows,
sharply creased.

Ruin marks the passage of time.
All good things fray,
The end never lies.
Paper dolls fall into decay.
I think these four lines could be cut. You say the same thing in the more interesting lines below.

Like a scythe,
the clocks hands reave, Beautiful lines in image and sonics, not sure you need the comma.
Paper doll heads tumble.
Death;
offers reprieve,
to infinities slow shuffle.
I think the loss of the semicolon and comma would improve this, letting the breaks do their job.

Paper dolls stare,
Cut out eyes that never blink.
Paper dolls do not care.
Paper dolls do not think.
The end lines come back well to the beginning with a similar chill.

Hope this helps, thanks for posting.
