. . .

So recklessly bold--foolish?--
to write so much about your lovers
when you're a long-time married man. Then I think,
what do I know?
About what to say
or not to say, what to tell, or not, to whom,
or when,

still.

(1993)

-from "what to tell, still," gary snyder, danger on peaks

At some point I'll send or post this poem by Marge Piercy about her current lover being upset by poems about past lovers. I loved this :)
