That I Am

Could I think —
Without word

The question contains
Its answer

Not yes or no
But I

The irreducible component
Of thought
Is not word
But I

Not I
Spoken or worded

But I
The necessity
Inevitability

That being — in-form —
Sentience, becomes
Is

Without this I
Sentience —

Is vegetable

I — consciousness
Clothed in-form

Is not the pre-condition
Of thought

Thought is
The clothes of form —
Sentience

Without the clothes
I — consciousness
Remains unborn

The question is not
Could I think
Without word

The answer is
That I am
Is thought
