Somewhere
If drawings rose up
right out of the sea
or descended down
from a canopied sky
How could we catch them,
or see them? or try?
Would they stay long enough
for study and capture?
What would they look like?
this performative rapture
Resembling maps
blueprints, or light?
Would they start and then stop,
or zip out of sight?
Thought-like impressions
with quivery edges
or be made of bricks
making foreverness pledges?
Would they ticker continuous—
and mess with air travel
Would civilization
totally unravel?
Would they bypass time
in order to see
past, present, future
served with crumpets and tea?
Would sights appear
words never could touch,
Would “beyond description”
be asking too much?
So, whether by land or
whether by sea
Just where is somewhere
drawings are meant to be?
And how to get something
from here to there
What is required to
transform mid-air
So what if each tip
of each pencil and pen
had a very small portal
where these drawings
swooped in
Staying forever at rest
at that station
Content to be governed
by imagination
And to see them again
To make visible awe
Somewhere
is just where
one chooses to Draw
