Saving Sodom
A blackout poem from Genesis 19
The two angels arrived
and spend the night
insisted so strongly
that we can have sex
I who have slept with a man
can do what you like
kept bringing pressure
The outcry so great
the angels urge “Hurry!“
hands don’t look back
don’t stop anywhere
Your kindness to this disaster
Look, the sun
risen over the land
dense smoke rising
God brought out of catastrophe
where Lot had lived
