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
