you'ew not the one that's missing in the photographs
with a far away look
half in clouds almost not on the ground
they think this is illegal and so you desist
it's just how it feels to be around yet
to register somewhere else
at all the birthday parties
where you find
what isn't even lost yet
in the spectrum
they only see part of
while you see the violet sunrise
and the ultraviolet
and try to explain what you mean
in the car, on the way back
twice repeating, the tangerine and
two Springs together
back to back
an impossibility of Aprils
and the green dotted with little flowers
where you say to yourself
to fix it in your mind
this is the meadow
the field
the singular tree
and the fairy ring
in the picture book
there, where Joan's visions
suddenly appeared.to her
to her, and not the others.
