Warning: Deer Xing
Plop, plop,
rain on the roof.
Plop, plop, splash,
wheels rolling through a puddle.
Plop, plop, splash, boom,
thunder erupting the heavens.
Plop, plop, splash, boom, crack,
lighting is tracing the sky.
Plop, plop, splash, boom, crack, whoosh,
winds howl louder.
Plop, plop, splash, boom, crack, whoosh, tap,
tree limbs hammer against my window.
Plop, plop, splash, boom, crack, whoosh, tap, click, click,
A fawn, blinded by bright lights, leaps across the pavement.
Plop, plop, splash, boom, crack, whoosh, tap, click, click, screech,
tires skid across the cement.
Plop, plop, splash, boom, crack, whoosh, tap, click, click, screech, shatter,
my windshield shatters, splintering.
Plop, plop, splash, boom, crack, whoosh, tap, click, click, screech, shatter, wee-woo,
sirens blare in the distance.
Plop, plop, splash, boom, crack, whoosh, tap, click, click, screech, shatter, wee-woo, plop plop,
rain cascades onto my face, lying under an open, unforgiving sky.
Plop, plop, plop.
