I Will

Launch me into darkness

and I will sculpt the universe.

Bury me beneath the birch’s roots

and I will fertilize a nation.

Tuck me between the covers

and I will give birth to love.

Shelter me with padded walls

and I will emerge uneasy and carnivorous.

Blend me into batter

and I will rise into sustenance.

Lift me toward the clouds

and I will build wings to the stars.

Teach me the paths to nirvana

and I will become the Psychopomp.

Read to me

and I will listen.
