Look down at the earth
Long shadows spill from my feet
That Shuffle in the dust of bygone days
Clouds of memory skip away on the breeze
Stone in the palm
Smooth and cool.
The mirror below, shaded pool
Invites the belligerent rock
Graceful arc from the launch
Motion slowed but no recall
As inertia fails, it starts to fall
Ignorant the mirror sleeps
Catastrophic broken skin
The rock is swallowed to the mud
Leaving undivided ripples
Infinite acceleration
Gentle waves lap the bank
Spent concentrics going nowhere
Like the feet that shuffle dust
Unsure which path to follow.
