ice came down
mixed with rain
streaked windows
on this april spring day
thunderclap
struck the sky
bolted across
blanket white deck slick
greased up the skillet
stir up some eggs
fried, plated
bangs, knicks, scrapes
pushes on curb-top
pours into driveway
rips mailboxes from posts
in muck
like drums
rat-a-tat rat-a-tat
down it spills
beating on housetops, hose-water
streets
neighbors drive on
wash-out roads
a few speed through
riper to pass slow
folks losing electricity
trees fallen 'round
hibernating, little, town
colorless sounds clog up headset
on a mismatch sort of day
out-of-place ride-out
gasket blown
