Bunching its members
A sorcerer, the protagonist got into his best friend Luke's dream.
He can't get out of this dream and stays at a bar sipping beer.
Once a Bandersnatch emerges, he speaks a spell in spite of himself.
My left hand jerked forward of its own volition and a series of words rose unbidden to my lips. I spoke them just as creature crossed the interface I had been unable to pierce earlier, rearing as it upset a vacant table and bunching its members as if about to spring.
["Sign of Chaos" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny]
I'd like to know "its members" refers to "a series of words."
Thank you in advance for your help.
