found · loose, between pages of an atlas
— small partial maps —
the bay, with rocks where there are none.
the lane, longer than it walks.
the light, showing four beams instead of three.
a floor plan; door in the wrong wall.
the crossing, two routes, neither agreed.
no key; no compass; one mark — yours.
none of the maps agree. the bay has rocks the bay does not have; the floor plan opens where a wall stands; the lighthouse beams four times where it beams three. the cleanest of them — vi — has only you on it, and one ring of nothing. fold and refold; the atlas will accept the page back, or refuse it, depending on the day.
