Ode to projectiles

I am thinking of projectiles:
the toss of a rock and a teargas canister
multiple arcs of a stone bouncing on water
the throw from the bounday
accusation in court
a token of love into a trashcan 
as an orchestra goes silent
a prayer for a child unconscious 
a shooting star disappearing into target
color-throw from one end of sky to the other
and a thought, a plea and a voice
moving across the uneven earth
and through other trajectories 
coming to rest on a singular card 
that says ‘heart-locked’ 
and concludes ‘yours’ 
but perhaps 
not just mine.
