I am an apparition,

gliding along the surface of the water.

Rocks, hills, and the sky are reflected

in this other-worldy mirror.


Where am I?


I fly with my brother and sister,

nearing the end of our odyssey.

I see an elk’s lost antler,

mimicked by the root of a tree.


Where am I?


As we dart and flitter around,

I turn my gaze up to the sky.


There I am.
