Snows and rain.
Tropical cloudbursts cause clouds burst.

aeolian mist of Bretagne
as the orange
sun cannonballs into the
ocean depths. shrillness
of sound on shepherd peaks,
trembles down on panic-grass.
sprites and sirens toss’d from their sleep.
the earth violates, the sea

                        hearty breakfast in
                        the fisherman’s bed.
