Beckoned by * 5/19/12

Beckoned by what can’t be so.

I can’t straightforwardly tell you.

I can’t cover my mouth

and tell you with just my eyes.

I can’t write it down

in scribbled notes passed your way.

I can’t leave it

as blood smeared script

on the daily dry wall

where you stare into space.

I can’t live a life

of pure dedication

to this cause

for you to admire.

Nothing of it would come across

as something you would recognize.

It doesn’t easily translate

from something else that it is.

You can’t overhear it

being said to another.

There is nothing personal

intended by its vacancy from you.

And it is not just you, for sure.

It is all of us.

We are all beckoned

by what can’t be so.

We can’t think it clearly.

We can’t compare notes

to somehow collectively identify.

But we are all part of it

and at worst, it is haunting us.

At present, it is more inviting

but not wholly admitted to

or consciously our wanton claim.

But it is coming

or rather we are going to it.

Not that it is an “it”.

It is more than just disrobing

from our absence from it

and therefore becoming more of it.

But I cannot say what it is.

Language takes me away from it.

Thoughts about it, are desperate

but also distant from it.

In fact, there is no it!

There is no entry, by a claim of it.

It cannot be possessed

by ownership or the like.

We actually have to give up on it,

well the “it-ness” of it.

For there is no separation possible.

It can’t be quantified like that.

It is quantum,

and we are it, but unrealized,

and without means of passage

without a shift of consciousness.

All of our referentials,

all of our recognition means,

only fight against it.

We actually fight with

and within ourselves

not to get it but to be it,

to be of it.

We want to not be stayed

by self-conscious means,

but to diversely channel

this oneness

towards a confluence of being,

towards a conscious diversity

that infers by expression

a oneness

as our soulful conscious means,

to be beckoned

by what can’t be so . . .
