~Rocketship~

[psychicninja]

Two friends of mine
Had a joke about a
Rocketship
    Once
They joked to be secret
Lesbian lovers
    And so
    One friend
Was the other’s ship
For her to ride on

But see
I have my own
Rocketship
    And it’s not
    Like that

I have a song so named
Which plays in my head
And makes me stand
    And spin
    And sing
    And twirl
    Twirl twirl twirl
In circles that aren’t
The coordinated steps
My teacher once engrained
Within me.
    No.
They’re wild and silly
And they make me smile
Because in my own
Rocketship
    I can dance
    And laugh
    And love
And leave this world behind
Say goodnight to gravity
Hold on to what I remember
With a smile on my face
    A smile given
    By the same hand
    Who gave me that song
Who sometimes
Lends me a step-up
And a goodbye to
Earth’s gravity
A hand to hold

To that hand?

Here’s my palm
    To take you away
    And dance with me
