Oliver Sachs 



Oliver Sachs

When he told his mother he was gay, she said, "I wish you had never been born."

His mother said,
"I wish you had never
been born,"
and he did his best
to please her.

He covered his sex,
smothered it,
never had sex with anyone
for over thirty years.

He became famous,
was renowned as a
compassionate and humane neurologist,
brought people back
from wherever
they had gone,
gave the world
a window on understanding,
on hope.

The people loved him
for he told their stories,
his colleagues questioned
his "unscientific" approach.

He was described in the press
as unmarried,
celibate.
