The Invisible

The invisible 
the hand the thing
the firmament 
the environment 
the mechanical support system
the thing that brings life
that which allows to move 
the following 
the shadow
the magician 
the thief
the deceiver 
the force

behind 
in front
around
holding 
embracing

the mysterious female 
the valley spirit 


being that which is seemingly independent 
the character which we engage and believe


the body of a thing
the solid object morphology 
geometric details
the area between points

time 
spirit of change

water 
air
airplane 
wind

moving
still 
touching

the hairs on the back of my neck
stand up
I can’t see the thing which is making that move
I am alive
here

alone 
not
alone 

impossible 

I am
without
I am inside
inside me
I breath

through air connection complete
in my body
all through my whole body this air 
this food I eat moves me 
and through me
completely I am this 
I am it

the puppeteer 

this here
this one 
they

hiding 
hide 
not there 
unseen 
so we are convinced 

that

it lives
lives and breaths

but
something 
somewhere
is what it
is this 
that it moves

could crush it 
could annihilate 
but doesn’t 
it gives

allowing 
guides
follows
responding through what is 
all around 
focused inside
subject
solid
object

treasure

a distraction from the whole

bird shows air in flight
invisible mapped by solids moving
we are this
of what we are deeply of
to be this experience as allow-er to a livingness 
so proficient at hiding somewhere 
anywhere 
in discomfort
finding repose 
calm 
breath is key in these moving moments when the life which I am is directed
projected into 
another solid 
body

I am collective
I am shape shifter
absolutely physically empathising 

spectrum of densities and porosities 
varying degrees of absorption
I travel through 
sit inside 
stand in 
walk through
passing through place
solid 
seen 
not seen 
liquid 
gaseous

puppeteer is human representative of firmament 
experiencing
being 
allowing
listening loudly to the seemingly weaker

following 
what I can so easily prevail over
​
is this not the giving of love?

allowing life to be through another body
sharing physically 
puppetry is by its nature the most intimate of expressive acts 

I am this body which you believe to be living
knowing that it is me
I am so totally this body
unlikely
still it is living
letting my living breath through this other physical body

also
I am un-living without this surrounding 
which lets me live 

as is the puppet
we are of the same 
piece of earth

the life through this physical body
mine
yours
object physical vessel for life 

I am a puppeteer 
in total giving through object
I need not hide
giving 
completely to another body 
renders me that which I have gifted with life

neither of us owns this livingness
