I

Any formulation
Of what’s called
Truth, Absolute, Brahman
Tao, God
It, That, or This

Is, must be
Perceptible — form —

Formless, by definition
Is not perceptible
Is not form

I

Is form — irrespective of —
The origin, intuition
The referent, or nature
Of

I

Heard, seen, standing
As form

I

Speaks

To form, through form
And says

I

Am not form
Am formless
Am That, It
Truth

The saying
Speaking, form
Gets etched
In stones

Venerated
Worshipped
Sought

Always
Somewhere, some form
Somehow
Denies itself

Contradicts itself
Divides, dissolves
Annihilates, liberates
Itself

Absolves, transforms
Resurrects
Itself
As formless

In monasteries, churches
Scriptures, libraries
Statues
Inscriptions

Signalling forms
Through crusades
Revolutions, histories
To declare
Enforce

Through forms
In forms
As forms

That

I

Is not
Form
