It has to be the most exclusive gay resort on the planet-Fire Island Pines. Abbey and I were just a couple of your regular New York City gay guys looking for an escape from Manhattan’s oppressive summer heat. But once we sampled the Pines and her butch men, we were hooked. We needed a full share in a comfortable beach house with a pool. Cute considerate housemates would be nice. That first season we did well. After late dinners, we’d all go disco dancing together, shirtless with our brothers in the Pines Pavilion, followed by some midnight action in the Meat Rack. In the full moonlight it was most beautiful. The houses we rented covered the whole spectrum, from a Japanese villa to an overgrown beach bungalow famous for its S&M leather parties. Eventually, Abbey and I bought our dream two-bedroom duplex unit in the Pines Co-ops. Halloween always marked the end of the season. They drained the pipes and we headed back to stingy Manhattan, reminiscing over summer’s gorgeous lovers that got away. Winter was reserved for a final reckoning, and AIDS would soon have its say.

  • Distant Echoes

    I started writing free verse poetry during my last year at Highland High School. Our creative writing teacher was Mr. Ness. I adored him. We all did. He was like a father to us. He told us that those of us, like me, who could write poetry on their own were blessed. God whispered poems in their years. I was hooked. Mr. Ness introduced me to the worlds of Whitman, E. E. Cummings,...

    The year was 1982. AIDS was still in its infancy. Jim and I were living in New York City in the artist’s loft near City Hall. It was the year of our big breakup after nine long monogamous years together. Jim had just given me my first diary for Christmas. I remember that seemed odd. Jim must have known I’d need it. In February I went to Venice solo. Jim left me on the night I r...
