Skipping Stones

First throw
A skip and another skip.

Second throw
A skip and a bounce.

Next throw
All the way across the pond….

Next throw
That was the best stone I’ve found.

Again
Just throwing.

And again
As hard as I can…

One more time
Damn rock.

Have to throw again
That one was ugly.

Again
I’m sorry.

Again
Why?

Again
Because.

Standing on the shore I gaze out…

Again
Because I can’t help it.

Again
Why can’t I help it?

Again
It’s all I know.

Again, damnit
Because it’s love.

Ugly jagged rock, again
All the way across the pond.

Standing on the shore, I look up.

Again

All the way across the pond.
