In the Washington bureau of a large Southeastern newspaper, a gay reporter with "great faith in the power of gossip" assumes that his colleagues are aware of his sexual orientation, although he has never told them and they have never let on that they know.

The "shrine" is a first-floor windowsill of a Greenwich Village apartment house where there are a few flowers stuck in a jar, a votive candle, a statue of the Madonna and a scrap of paper inscribed "We'll miss ya, Lucille." The flowers are fading, the candle is close to guttering and rain will soon wash away the message. The Madonna, being porcelain, might endure -- if no one steals it. Together these artifacts commemorate a woman who didn't get a proper wake or funeral. But then she didn't get a proper death.
