THERE

THERE

we poets
           talk
whisper
mutter
         to

shout
at each other

trade in each other’s carbon
signature
       breathe each
other’s rich
careful air

have constructed a web
that all of you
                    might
carry with you

in heart, mind
or stored on a disk or
stuffed
      into a pocket

something in this time
of plunging darkness
needed to
     spell out
                 every which
way

threaded through every
atom, molecule in
all possible
     states, positions,
                  configurations

we are there
       imagining

imagining
we are there
