the skipping stone

you showed her
once
how to skim a stone
across
the pond.
how to hold the slender
rock in her
hand, how
to lean back
and toss it sideways
above
the grass, the sand
across the water.
how pleased
she was to see it
skip skip skip
before it sank into
the shallow
blue depths
holding an april
sky.
you showed her
once how to do that.
you wonder if she
remembers too.
