Poem: Speak, When Spoken To

Speak, when spoken to.

cluster-expression decked out
the quarter, spent 'tween the
threads of vision - turnin'
grey like an oculus mood
with salts at the foot
then burnt out like a day
with the sun at its rim
disappearing as the tides dim
peg-strength fold in the excuse
alas! cluster-faced-expression
shuts out in the darkest ebb of abuse
putting sight, to no use.
