17" x 24" black and white poster designed by Sheila Levrant de Bretteville.
Includes the verse:
I am no longer afraid
of mirrors where I see the sign of the amazon, the one who shoots arrows.
There was a fine red line across my chest where a knife entered, but now
a branch winds about the scar and travels from arm to heart.
Green
leaves cover the branch, grapes hang there and a bird appears.
What
grows in me now is vital and does not cause me harm. I think the bird is singing.
I have relinquished some of the scars.
I have designed my
chest with the care given to an illuminated manuscript.
I am no longer
ashamed to make love. Love is a battle I can win. I have the body of a warrior
who does not kill or wound.
On the book of my body, I have permanently
inscribed a tree.
