Phantom Deer.... [very Short; True; Vision; Personal] Poem by Bri Edwards

i was on our deck one recent evening as it was getting dark.
i noticed (barely) two deer moving and standing in our backyard near an apple tree. they both moved farther away so i could not see them, but as it got even darker, i suddenly noticed what i thought was the larger one running back across the yard, followed by the second (deer) . it was weird because one moment my vision could pick them out of the gloom and then i wasn't so sure if i was seeing them or not. phantoms! ! ! !
