A bark and then
the roof twists off. I see
pieces rolling around on
the tarmac behind her, burnt coins
splash into the wishpool of rubber that
started the trip as a tire.
          A dog and a woman
run howling from their home, make it to
the mailbox, one foot on the road before
they turn, and cautiously
         heel back onto the porch.
This poem picks up at
the debris on the road, a firetruck pulls up and
       washes it away.
