The Cliff Face Poem by Wayne Sloane
The Cliff Face
Slips leave scars on the cliff.
A retaining wall guards against this,
but hides the cliff's face.
The cliff will now not slip into the sea.
But then, indigo and mauve
will not be seen on the cliff face
when the sun casts twilight shadows
into the scars the slips made.
