tiny
droplets gather
dance
shudder
meld, hold hands
take a deep breath
together
and
with a silent moist yell
tumble
shreiking
at vapor
trail
speed
down
through
buffeting winds
toward the
inevitable
frosty
weed-strewn
embankment
just beyond a
cracked
jersey barrier
where nestle dozens of its kin
rippling playfully in the cool
wet breezes glinting on chrome
finish of a gently penduluming
seat belt buckle drawn up near
his own blood-specked headrest
spatter softly off the bent
windshield
wiper
to a waiting grateful patch of clover
and soak into the earth
with a deep
contented
sigh.
