Autobiographical

 The lover in these poems
is me;
the doctor,
Love.

He appears
as husband, lover
analyst & muse,
as father, son
& maybe even God
& surely death.


All this is true.


The man you turn to
in the dark
is many men.


This is an open secret
women share
& yet agree to hide
as if
they might then
hide it from themselves.


I will not hide.


I write in the nude.

I name names.

I am I.

The doctor's name is Love.
