Forget-me-knots grow
In the footprints
You left behind

They know
Every year Spring, springs
From the path of your yesterdays #ghost

“Have you seen Sir, Miss Davenport?”

“He couldn’t be found, Hargreaves.”

“I didn’t say he was lost. I was just asking if you’ve seen him.”

“How dare you insinuate that I’ve done something abhorrent to him… again, Hargreaves. If I had feelings, I’d cry.”

…and a Bird head from
multi colored construction paper.
You flapped your arms,
pretending to fly.
In retrospect I admire your creativity
and indulgence of a younger cousin.
You made a magical place
in a sad childhood.
The Banks had Mary Poppins
and I had Dawn.

When there were clouds
and we were young
You invented the Bird family
whose home was a castle
in the sky obscured by clouds.
Part of me knew it was
only a story and I loved you
all the more for its creation.
Paulie Bird gave me a ring
and you made feathered wings…

He couldn't be found. The traitorous puppeteer had vanished, leaving behind a cavernous space of seeing shadows. The undercurrent emerged like an avalanche. Then, a squirrelly thought turned the scene...

…disintegrated an entire family.
Who carried a dark secret?
Had he been killed?
Had he been kidnapped to be
raised by another family?
They never found out.
A cold case.
He had no grave.
A life uncelebrated but
not forgotten.

He couldn’t be found.
His family fell apart.
His parents divorced.
His father hung himself.
His mother raised his siblings,
though she distanced herself.
He was the ghost child in their family,
though it was his sisters and brother
who were ghosted.
One disappearance…

He couldn’t be found because he was never lost. He was an unmade path. A song at the edge that you could hum but never put words to. He was a sigh at the end of a long day. A familiar book that gathers dust but always knows that it is loved. He was never a question.

twas a minute past seven
when there was a knock at the door
a masked individual
with an unruly posse
no warrant in hand
no law of the land
just uneducated
rhetoric parroted from
a leader in the oval office

and an innocent lay dead
on the threshold of his home
smoking gun in the hand

i was born in the snow
many winters ago
behind the wreckage
of a gypsy caravan
broken rear axle
free spinning wheel
moonlight kaleidoscope
flickered o'er scene
as kicking and screaming
i would be first seen

He couldn't be found
Though I searched and searched
Maybe he didn't want to be
Woe is me
Unsteady heartbeat
Wondering why
Tears dried up
Forgotten to cry
Story of my life
Still I go on
Only thing I know
Life's a big con

Father Time's #corrupt he gives a peek
then grabs it back a cruel streak

Where there were clouds,
massive ink blots loom.

Where people once stood,
there is the chill of empty space.

Where words once clustered,
there is only sparseness.

Where rain once fell,
arid lands spread,
clasping like hands.

He couldn’t be found,
the search went on.
Into the mist,
drawn ever deeper,
down paths and crevices,
ancient and new.

They listened for signs,
followed fading trails,
until darkness descended;
hope thinned and paled,
the last ember burned out
in silence.

He couldn't be found
in the usual places
where lost #souls repose

So his spiritual reclamation
would have to be
one of remote salvation
in a holy absentee
sense of redemption

Fortunately
the tech savvy pilgrim
can link with the Lord
and be saved
for a price

He couldn't be found in deserts nor forests. His dwellings were caves in macro space. He moved on alternative paths, withholding that secret method from the scripts he couldn't prevent. Hermits were too oft disturbed to be truly hermit. An Exceptional apprentice found him.

Taken by the wind.

He couldn't be found there
in the depths of my dream,
though I searched
and searched for him

yet I knew he
was hidden somewhere,
just past the place
where my hands
could touch

then I awoke
and he wasn't
there either

he was nowhere—

nowhere at all
that I
could reach him.

He couldn’t be found,
We looked high and low,
In the square,
In the round,
Where on earth,
Did he go?

Where’s his body?
We need his soul.
Go ask everybody,
We need it,
Broken,
Or whole.
