Uncontainable You


Uncontainable you – liquid flowing through the stages – insubstantial you – a net of flickering lights – immaterial you – a ghost-geist mind in atomic world – particular and waving world – solar blip – saurian world – carboniferous – Permian – a busy street-hustling world where insubstantial you pass – a street-corner world where unseen you radiate – an official world where you are unregistered – a serious world – in which you laugh – a tight-ego world - through which you flutter – a hide-bound head – whose frowned brow you tickle – a solidity-clinging cult – whose fingers you uncurl – a blind cult – a dumb cult – cluttered and manacled – you flow between the houses – between the frowning scurrying citizens – electric you run – water on a blade – unobstructed you shine – light on water dancing – unheeded – unimpeded – limpid you chant – you sing in the moonlight – you lambent glow – gollow you shine – mellifluous you mellow flow – behind the lightning – behind the wind – under the sunlight – beside the waves – the foam – that fleck and froth – the glint – you dancing – buses and tramlines buzzing – human hives huzzing – punters hustling and hassling – pouring through it like light you – light pouring in through it you – like light you pour through it – pouring through you light it – golden honey warm running – amongst brick-alleys you’re darting – unknown in crowds you hum – brick-dust on your   shoulders – untamed and unfettered – leaping into the sky in a moment – unclothed in the flesh-guise of mortals – unsuspected you pour forth octaves and harmonies – crowned with the rays of the morning – aerial whispers of clouding – suffused with larks and the misty – subtle you rush to euphoria – mercury glints in your footsteps – dewdrops that fell in the morning – rising they rapidly drink you – vapours and mists for a body – nobody sees beyond their range – no one hears the rustle of you through the air – doors don’t need to open – candles to burn – hands can grab if they want to – if they think it’ll help – but hands can’t grasp the head of you nor heads get a handle on you – feet neither outrun you – wings not unfurl ya – tickets not buy ya – nor buy the rights to ya – trains can’t outrun you nor ships in water sail you – you flit – you float – you flutter and fly go passing by – you drone in the dusk of evening – and rumble in the noonday heat – circulating through the human realm unguessed – you are the most human of humans – lacking solidity you radiate your shining – between vehicles silently crossing – besides walkers silently strolling – a smile on the face of the light – personified non-persona – going amongst the pillars – walking through ways of the worldly – passing and temporarily going – racing on hands of the sun-clock – and sunshine a memory fading – a photograph left in a cabinet – tea-pot on mantle-piece and tocking of barometer clicking – you glance through these dozing scenes – the dreams of the drowsy – the myriad varieties of human states – destinies fates and free-wills – bustling the human world – buzzing the hive of life – spinning the wheel of matter – dancing the curve of light – flowing between laughing stars – violet radiance in black space expanding – not in a shoe like a foot – not in a glove like hand – a room – a location – juxtaposition – not in these – not found here – not contained or pinned – not recorded – unbeknownst to they – slipping quietly unobserved – emanating glorious heart-strength – a jewel-tower glittering skywards – like the roaring of a thousand lions you slip quietly by – like the murmur of a grasshopper you plunge below the common register of hearing – down any street – rambling through the dew on any field – cross the barbarous tarmac – in ghettos of crumbling concrete – down corridors – up flights of stairs – stairwells – flights of fancy fare thee well – spiralling up – zooming ever across – cutting over the seas – riding light like your fiery steed – unquenchable and unquestionably the essence of everything – you the glint – the spark in the light – the shimmer on the ocean – you being time – you being feel – you being sound  - mind hearing sound as one – fluttering through conceptuality – substantiality – corporeality – all isms – all time in its spool – wool of the lamb of space that fills a thousand worlds – spinner of threads of experience – spinner of spreading life – spilling over into ten thousand manifestations – everywhere and nowhere you glitter – spinning and rotating in the vastness – slipping down streets and into shops – getting on buses and into queues – pulsating sunshine your frockcoat – wind’s tireless struggle your clothing – onward you flow like time’s river – onward and everly changing – rooting out time with a river – hurling your shapes to the shadow – you flow – unseen they guess not your presence – you surge – they go about their business – you loom and shimmer – you glimmer – you pass between radiant day-scapes – a ripple in aether’s eterning – unrushed forever – appearing here there and nowhere – flitting mongst maddening throngings – pitching their rock-solid concepts – radiant you pass among them – you who have known no unknowing – pitched in reality’s rumble – sleeping we wander and stumble – lights shine and time goes back – run time and run right back – wheels roll and spin and engines clack – run time and run right back – images painted on your individual memory – past things from your condition – the light that sparkled through these – the knowing of it was in the light of you – the light of the known was upon you – hand that holds the clouds feels the wind – in scapes of city skies you ride the wind – glittering frost on the ferns – hearing the rustle you pass on into the village – flowing and moving through the country – summer – winter – travelling – aflow – running through light and dark – uncontainable you –
