covering my windshield
and this morning
the best i could do
was curse in the dark
while scraping a big enough hole
to see through as i drove
slumped in my seat
later
in the light
after coffee
and a bit of writing
i saw the swirling mural
spread across my car’s roof
like an ice sculpture
of ferns from a redwood forest
i stood in admiration
as the rising sun
made it gleam
