DUCKS

Ducks trace tracks on a pond.

Children – hands clenched on breadcrumbs

Wait.

Reeds flicker sunlight

Ducks look at the children

Dip beaks for thrown morsels.

Children out of time

Turn to answer mother’s call

Leave the pond now.

Ducks turn to salt

If you look back

Mother says.

Children fly kites

Run against the wind

Run against the wind.
