Starling Hunter Poem
You, skinny dipping,
is making each fish desire
to become a man.

Starling Hunter Poem
all of the sugar
none of the carbohydrate
when she kisses me
all of the creamy
none of the cholesterol
when she kisses me
all of the tasty
nothing ends up ‘round my waist
except for her arms

Starling Hunter Poem
I never felt sure
I knew it was possible
even probable
but how could I know
that she would come in winter
through the open doors
how was I to know
on the very first Friday
of the first new year
of a new decade
century, millennium
that love had arrived

Starling Hunter Poem
I bought her a blouse
white silk, long sleeves, full enough
to wear her heart on.
I bought her some slacks
twenty-eight inch waist snug ‘round
those hips she shoots from.
And boots for the feet
she thinks on, has the world at,
and I swept her off.

Starling Hunter Poem
we dance the old dance
as old as time itself yet
ever fresh each day
who knows its real name
how long it’s been around or
cares who danced it first
lift turn sway lunge bend
at the shore on ballroom floors
in the desert sands
the heart of the world
beats to the rhythm of love
all still dance to it

Starling Hunter Poem
and in this lifetime
though we were born far apart
we found each other
in a future life
we might be separated
by greater distance
my questions are these
how will you recognize me
how will you find me
how long will you search
what will lead you back to me
will you have the will

Starling Hunter Poem
four things that happened
that day that we fell in love:
the four doors opened
forty days at sea
ended and sailors saw land
four hundred children
cracked four thousand smiles
for forty thousand pilgrims
trekked four million miles
for a chance to be
near the God that made that day
that we fell in love

...beautiful because
I love her and the other
way around. She is...
