Wrack

The storm brawled with the flying rags 
of mad clowns.

Small birds exploded
in spiral sprays of feathers.

Deer slogged against a hoof tugging fright.
Raccoons clung to barn beams.

Trashcans spun like whirligigs.
Ducks sunk amid churning reeds,
the wind hurt every eye & heart.

All hid from the calamity jig.
Whirling trees danced,
in a bugaboo blow

that chased a sky around its own
wracked 
and flying red ribbons.
