“Of Depression
I have to, in oft'd, shy away,
cranny'd in withdrawl'd blear
not glisten on a beach's boast'd nude.
I crave hovel'd aside where much
of 15 watts for lit alofts,
not a window agape with glare
or theatred by shameless'd.
but rather of shut drawn drab by shades
or shutters's thatched. No, no,
no outstands of shape, just backdrop
never as of sprawl'd abundant
but out of sight like underseas'd
mystery'd by fish in sustain'd
thithering even affright'd
here then there
hid away'd.”
