they appear to appear
and thus that they appear
truly exist

and somehow appear in our world
or seem to appear
which means simply that they appear
to appear

& thus that they appear as lines

Blue is the colour of the sky
and its happiness

look
the opposite of the gaze of love
is not the gaze of hate.

the tall trees. the very tall trees are getting
closer
like eyelashes

swept sharp with mascara. others



& are mistaken for something else entirely
somehow they appear in our world
or seem to appear
which means simply that they appear to appear
& thus that they appear envy

air & light against the earth & shadow of envy

look
the opposite of the gaze of love
is not the gaze of hope
