the day i fell out of my ego
rich, verdant, radiant earth
blanketed my collapse
silence was penetrated
by the sweet echo
of the universal sound om:
aaaaaauuuuummmmm
i did not exist,
yet there i was
inhaling soft,
melted-butter sunshine
exhaling shame
that was
never mine
i tasted the truth
there was no me,
yet i was
everywhere
