first rays of sunlight
penetrate dew drops
refracting light
sending prisms dancing
to my waiting cornea
in the instant between
refraction and visualization

morphing playful prisms
into beady red eyes
bent evil and angry
one hundred-thousand sets
dew drops across the horizon

trees upon hills in the distance
all staring intently
at me
this is of course
only a fraction of a second
after the Datsun dissolved
into a puddle of pink
early one summer morning
