at the speed of light
skipping rocks in space
the flatter the better so they say
skimming along invisible waves
making wishes as they fade
light years away
where they finally wind up
nobody really knows
(except the creator)
perhaps as a collective of
gold-colored coins
deposited into a simple pot
strategically placed
at the end of an endless rainbow
june two thousand eighteen
