Every 10th word

Over the dead line we have called to you 
To come across with a word to us,
Some whisper of what happens 
Where you are over dead line 
Deaf to our calls and voiceless 

The flickering shadows have not answered 
Nor your sent a signal 
Whether love talks and roses  
And the sun breaks at morning 
Splattering sea with crimson
