Victoria Hunter Poems
The less I speak
when I am pushed to fall skinless
into the brooding sunbeam
My bright voice falls spiritless
...
When the rain is brooding
the leaves hang low and heavy.
We take the path we see, is most clear
...
Maria was close to death,
when she met Tanzler
the two of them was inseparable,
the heart and the mind
...
I look past the people
who look in our bus window.
I look beyond the bus driver,
to the small red speck of light
...
Candy-stripe wallpaper
bloody red carpet
My cat put one paw in
and backed out
...
You sat them on an icy oak table-
the package of my father's ashes-
like an old-fashioned box cake.
...
I tasted leaves
the season of aged skin
Below me was the ground
gray in pieces
...
Didn't I love youfrom one end to another
exactly howyou were created
so wild and wantingall the attentionall the time
...
is for my identity to be returned,
for it to be tossed out a window
and for it to land, into my warm lap,
so he can be driven, away and away,
...
There's a path I always take
down to the river
where the woods are dressed down
open
...
The thing came green like kale
I've needed to toss out for days-and bought on sale
and removed edges browning
and bent in with the texture
...

The Best Poem Of Victoria Hunter
The Outsider
The less I speak
when I am pushed to fall skinless
into the brooding sunbeam
My bright voice falls spiritless
on its tongue
the skirt of it tears and tears
and seems unsure of its reflection
It seems to rise upinto the suns mouth
and turn thereto a muffled sigh
Slowlyit begins to purposelylet itself go
you see nothing of the air
can seem to stroke it
without breaking it upwardand away
and rightwhen it's just about ready
to lose its sensitivity to the salty wind
it sees your face as salvation
the heart of it burst open
it sees the groundas a giant god
like fresh dirt
it meets the ground gladly
and gladly and gladly
