Eat a Star

Someday
I’m going to eat a star
I’ll grab it
as I’m floating by
and pop it
in my mouth

There it will turn
swirl
illuminate a dark world

I’ll feel it tingle
bounce
poke
swell

And then
just as it begins to expand
I’ll swallow it
whole

Then I’ll have conquered it
until I feel warm
and notice I’m glowing:
“You are what you eat”
I ate a star.

This is a poem I wrote a long time ago. I haven't had time to post lately, but I thought I would share it with you.
