a thin layer of ice (haiku)

the sound of a fall-

Notes:
This micropoem, of course, borrowed an idea from E.E. Cummings, whose poems I love.
For a formally perfect haiku, e.g. the "a" and the "the" could be omitted to fulfil the strict 5-7-5 syllable pattern. I think that's not the point here.
But, is it really haiku? Or is there a second image missing?
