Death Is Not A Lover

She is not full-bodied, soft-
breasted, no, she is not for
love. Death is not calling

you. She looks away. You
chase what does not belong
to you. Her legs are closed.

Death does not surrender.
She will not embrace you.
She will let you fall.

    Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

    In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

    It is likely to be -- it is best if it is -- a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

    A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think -- but it is not necessarily biographical.
