Answer:
1. A muted thread of gray light, hovering ocean,
becomes throat, pulls in wriggle, anemone, kelp,1
widens with the want of it. I become
a mouth, thrashing hair, an overdone eye.
2. The above words create a gloomy and scary mood.
Explanation:
In the poem, 5 P.M., Tuesday August 23, 2005
, the hurricane which was formerly calm as described in the words, "a muted thread of gray light", and "hovering ocean", suddenly becomes a throat that swallows everything in its environment and widens because it wants to take in more. This creates in the reader an imagination of the hurricane that suddenly acquires strength to consume everything around it.
The mental picture created is scary and gloomy as there is a sudden change from peace to unrest.
