Lazing on the riverbank
Gazing at the fresh green blades
Following with my eye
Where they point into the sky
Squinting
What am I seeing?
A dot
A dot
A circle…
A saucer?
Fast to my feet
Fix on the—
On the—
Dash it all
The saucer’s a dish
And now that dish has disappeared

I thought you had captured something supernatural with your camera.

It was more what I hadn’t captured. The duck I’d focused on, ducked beneath the water, leaving me with the splash.
