Brenda Jones poem

Stepping back

I stepped into the gallery
and was taken back to cubiculō Caligulae,
quī bacchationem habebat,
ac phasmates plebum vīdī,
spectántia cum libidibus tristibus.

I stopped at one particular painting,
my arms folded,
weight shifted toward one hip,
and I realized I was staring at myself.
