Rhetorical device for sentence structure imitating meaning

English Language & Usage Asked on March 14, 2021

I am trying to find the specific rhetorical device which means that the structure of the sentence I’m writing about imitates the meaning. In this particular case the writer using enjambement to convey an idea of movement

example:

Godiva, I unpeel/
Dead hands, dead stringencies

(I want to argue that the unpeeling is mimicked in the sentence structure ie the enjambement)
