Fourth Letter From Zeno Poem by Barry Middleton

Fourth Letter From Zeno



one that I imagined
has gone before me

she lived a poet's life
and died too young

possessed by words
images and madness

she understood search
but not the journey

she tried to teach me
how to be a scholar

I knew she captured
the words I needed

what she took with her
cannot be found again

the book we wrote
is the silence of death

a forgotten language
I never speak her name
