Totem Pole

Back onto my bum, then resting to gaze

I put a creature on a creature

which I put onto the creature I had proactively stacked

on top of my most memorable creature and remained back

to just evaluate my work

it looked excessively short in spite of the number

of creatures, I had accumulated, and I felt drained and senseless

furthermore, frustrated, dropping to my knees, shaking

back onto my bum, then resting to gaze

into the ancient sky until my eyeballs relaxed

what's more, I was constrained by the predictable light

to close them and pay attention to the creatures taking

a shockingly significant time-frame to muddle themselves.
