STARR

To Daniel

it is not we have forgotten/even when time leaves us
waiting for a repetition of wonder once beloved
More that you remind us of a wonder long ago
THE LOVERS were a splash of comet fire,a meteor
crashed down among us in a blaze of Light
Starr sang across the Nations and all Worlds-Universes
unfolded like flowers to her voice enchanting
and we who gave her only ears and time and energies
amazed at this beam within our midst,grateful for this
angry when she was stolen from us.We adorants
wanted only more of the privilege of adoration
Daniel loved her close up.Embraced all death and dying in his love
kissed away distance in a song,kept on when bodies failed
and only stories ,songs and poems could be shared
No reminescence this.Actualize her if ye can-
yet know the distance has settled in so much
We cannot exchange our stories for her touch.
