Thunder & Ghosts
In an explosion of hooves
they darted from the trees
they heard me coming
but I did not see them
but as I neared
the deer burst forth from the brush
their long legs pounding
their white tails flying
like flags in the wind
they bounded away in a flash
then dissolved into their surroundings
disappearing into air
they came in like thunder
they vanished like ghosts.
