I Look For Her Poem by Barry Middleton

I Look For Her



I look for her at sundown
but she fled to the north
never to escape herself

I reach out left handed
but the cold bed sheets
have long been empty

I look for her in dreams
but only find the terror
of dark maniacs stalking

I look for her in poetry
and she appears at dawn
warming coldest memory

she inhabits all my verse
there in a white solitude
she beckons from the page
