I like to place my self
in a space before shadow or light occurs.
a space without sight perspective as such,
where I ponder the notion of distance
from a me to a thing that is there
and wonder how did that occur
and what keeps us as such,
claimed as separate.
at least in my mind,
that is the declarative I start from.
so I sit with that premise
and wonder what made that so.
what made everything so referential?
what made the naming of everything
include a separateness from,
as unsaid but part of the invocation
that I assume when naming as I do?
how did I get claimed as so lost
as to need a system of self-consciousness
pursuant to being found?
there is part of me that wonders about that.
a part that does not sense naming
as my first or essential option.
I seem addicted to naming
without forethought at all.
although I do deeply appreciate
when something comes
to an awareness in me,
where the energetics precede
the sensory obvious.
it's where we, of then, commingle,
as a harmonic of sorts,
a melody without experiential lyrics.
and so I residence
in space without light or dark as relevant.
where there is embodied swim,
currents banter without evidence made,
a sense of being,
having no particulars arise.
it is the lead-in
to every single second in passing.
it makes time seem like insistence
and space like a remark to be made.
and if I had religion,
it would happen much later
in each last second occurring.
it feels like I am carving an ice sculpture,
in a desert,
at high noon.
and the carving and melting
are dancing with each other
into an evaporative state of presence.
and I am laughing,
drunk on their nonexistence
of invisible fumes as results . . .
