Jocelyn Ulevicus
Red Bird At Dawn
I was born with two images of
myself: walking over water and
flapping my arms up and down as
if they were wings / not defending
myself or leading people on to
think I am anything less than a
survivor let loose in the wind / cut
free from a woman’s body
singing a song to and for myself—
as a way of taking good care.
Suppose the body speaks
languages of birth and death /
a multiplicity of myths.
