Explosive Farewell

Explosive Farewell

A Poem by Jessica Elaine Stevens [Faiteach]
"

As I leave for boot camp, let the adventure begin

"
i am searching through linoleum hallways
exploring frosted, smoking coolers;
diving up and down shelves,
which clink and clatter
with the weight of many liquors.

i am looking for the perfect 
bottle of Champagne
to launch my ship to sea.

i will not sip this farewell,
i will not toast this parting,
i will not let fizzy drinking water
numb my tongue and head 
to the taste of bittersweet goodbyes.

i will SHATTER it against the hull
and let the reverberating fragments-
the frothy foam and splatters- 
push me out into open waters.
