From the Poem "Metamorphosis" By Carol P Snow
From the poem "Metamorphosis" by Carol P. Snow. Copying it made the spacing mess up but I wanted to save it..
"I think I am a dancer, a singer of songs, a story-teller.
I fly and swim, walk on four legs, slide through the grass on my belly.
I breathe through gills, through hollow fragile bone, shake feathers into place on my wings
I roll in the dust, smooth my fur with raspy tongue, startle at unexpected sounds.
I walk upright, two-legged, a woman, warm and soft, strong and vulnerable.
I walk in silence, in laughter, with spoken word, with solitary tears, with open heart." (139-140)
