she hadn't seen them
when she took the picture
had focused on the singular petal
lying there on the steps
that lead from earth to water
in three levels
it was only back home
when she looked at the moment
again on the wider screen
that they appeared
from the depth of the pool
like a mirage
first she read them
as a reflection
a string of clouds
hazy and orange
but the longer she looked
the closer they came
into reality
