Dangling Participle

I forgot to put the subject  In front of the action. I lost my step Steep footing  sharp, gentle sloped terrain  Trouble ahead  Double rewind  Whimsical, thorny branches  Litter the neat cobblestone path to a Forbearing, forbidding garden  Paw licking felines line the walls Hiss to the beat of her steps  Tender pulsating bliss  As she moves  Gingerly in silence  Through their land  Holding her own hand  Mind cursed, Well versed  Human Beast  Sacred mammal  She knows  she’s hunting and hunted  Softly piercing eyes  Fixated on her foliage  Wondering what’s poison,  What’s nourishing     So she steps in front of the bow As the arrow loses Splinters  Near miss and Direct hit  Creating  An extraordinarily dull  ordinary contradiction  See: He wants her vulnerable  What happens when she’s not?
