A skate board
You made it glide
It has been ten years
we found in a ditch;
blue plastic in chips
and slivers - rusted
trucks - crusted wheels.
like an eagle ray
crosses the sea floor.
and many boards since,
but if I could watch
you ride just one
it would be
the blue, the first
to turn the streets
to glass.
