oneword: pane
by t. zoEy benally

thomas stared through the window pane
absorbed the ringing thump of rain bullets
pelted on the galvanized roof
acid rain dissolved traces of zinc
and it ran down gutters
collecting bits of lead from paint
and soaked into the ground
showered tomato plants
festive blooms perched at odd
angles on their angelic heads
