Poem

Astronaut in Space

Astronaut

We are here,

side by side,

on this couch

where

I have opened and closed my mouth

a hundred times but not a single word has come out.

But

in my head I am in outer space

enjoying how peaceful it feels

to float around with little

between me and nothingness

but a sheet of glass.

By Ally Malinenko

I live in Brooklyn which is good except when it’s not which is horrid. I’ve been writing for awhile, and have some stuff published and some stuff not. I don’t like when people refer to pets as their children and I can’t resist a handful of cheez-its when offered. I have a burning desire to go to Antarctica, specifically to the South Pole so I can see where Robert Falcon Scott died. I like to read books. I like to write stories and poems. I even wrote some novels. You can read them.
