A poetry chapbook
by Gloria G. Brame
In Sodom all the men were sinners, the women
all were wives...
He repents now on his knees for me...
I won't control them now,
Anger, Betrayal, Confusion, Despair...
Tonight, while I still have the courage...
Outside a motel window an aspen fills with
birds...
Everyone's busy in my backyard...
The neighbor's tom killed a mourning dove...
We pose for a group photograph...
The world of the living's a dizzying kiss...
With an anecdote and tribute to Joseph Brodsky
