PROLOGUE

WHO WOULD BELIEVE

Even a good poet must be wary as a spider

offering a book of love poems

to the woman he married fifty years ago.

If he exaggerates his love, she’ll know.

If he denies it, she’ll devour him

while remembering her old dead lovers.

If he sands off the edge of his desire,

what’s the point?

And if his desire for her is undiminished,

who would believe?
