Rocketship, Throat! Poem by Janine Alyssa Navarro

Rocketship, Throat!



A rocketship launches from my throat
Feel the wine at the tip of that flower
A smile exits these lungs
And unexpectedly lands next to you

Times are hard like your head
It turned you to a grandfather clock
I, A worn-out checkered blanket
We won’t lie: we’re not okay

The waves of fabricating seas
Promise us the best of sketches
But we just wish for this to over
Toss the door, let us into space
