lost... not found

Where is the tenderness I seek
Is it under nails, like dirt,
On turmeric-stained fingers?
Will I find it if I scream my voice hoarse
In a tranquil forest that does not talk back?
Is it, perhaps, lost beneath photo albums
Moments from long ago yellowing with age?
Was it put away by mistake with dusty Christmas
Ornaments, no longer taken out once a year?
