She is places you look for
Belong,ing to way up there
She's places you look for
She is places you look for
Belonging to way up there
Though given away somehow

AI Interpretation
The repeated claim that she is 'places you look for' turns desire into location rather than person.
The page feels airy and unfinished, but its core idea is strong: longing attaches itself to altitude, distance, and a sense of belonging that can only be partly held.
A short worksheet page where the poet drafts and redrafts a single 'Caspian' line. 'She is places you look for' and 'Belong,ing to way up there' (the stray comma kept from the source) repeat with small variants - 'She's places you look for', 'Though given away somehow' - reading like a line being tuned by ear. The effect is to convert longing into location: the beloved is not a person but a set of 'places you look for'.
