The Navigations of Rose de Freycinet
by Judy Johnson
1. The Windswept Cliff of Gender
I swayed for a while at its edge,
breasts swaddled like patients
beneath the institution of a navvy’s uniform.
Felt the flesh of my tongue stinging …
with what? Salt air? The irresistible tickle
of an old sailor’s oath?
