Red Cone (LF)#208-not a shadow

not a shadow

he stared at the shiny surface
he was only there when he looked
when he looked away he tried to smell
the other dog
not a shadow
a reflection without scent

today there is a lake out the front
the floods have come
inviting water fowl of all types
he sits and watches
thrilled
they have a scent
that glassy surface reflects more birds
and it has a scent

all a dream really
as we slide from one image to another
shadows and reflections
introspection
