FLAT ROCKS SKIP

Skip a rock on the water one, two, three

Boy of ten skipping them, flat ones, more and more

On and on maybe 7 or 8 , ripples from the shore

Underscores, the need for release, bare feet

Wearing only briefs

Young at play, an age old game

Moving fluidity, for the next throw, we see- Release!

On and on skipping time, back to those days of prime

Here, now in this continuity

Enough for today-still water now (say)
