TO BECOME ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE

to become
one
with the universe,
I swallowed it

then
like a sun
that becomes
too much
for itself
and spews
a storm
of solar flares,
I vomited
and burned
and scarred
myself
in the splash
of caustic ego

but
like those
who crawl
through
the birth canals
of mountains
to ponder
ancient symbols
on the rocky skies
of caves,
I have learned
to read
the message
of my scars

so
to become one with the universe
I have let it
swallow me

and as I am touched
by its parted lips
I feel myself
dissolving
like sugar
on a kiss
