Poem


I know she is lost 
but those lost 
can be brought home 

I want to print 
one hundred 
missing flyers

but how she’d hate 
to be found
believes she knows 
this twisting trail 

Like her mother’s 
weary face 
awaiting a simple knock 

If I linger 
in her swelling shadow 
will I be swallowed? 

If I dispel 
my every urge 
to search and save 
will she forget me? 

If I rush 
toward her trembling arm 
golden cape draped from my neck 
will she resent me? 

Missing pets 
might stray to long 
surrounding sidewalks 
turn strange 

She is far from 
a mangy mutt 
still she prowls in pursuit 
of his fleeting praise 

How does he have her 
blindly convinced 
he is steering 
the right direction 

How does he have her 
mindlessly certain 
his hostile affection 
is truer than us 

Us who never screamed 
who seldom swore 
would not dare sneer 

It is unsettling 
to remain upset 
I have lost her 

She is the one 
trudging through 
the disorienting fog 

She is the one 
facing the perilously unknown
evergreen grove 
miles from home 

I am only the one 
who knows 
she is lost
