Ronnog and Ashley Winning perform Ronnog's poems at the Café Medusa, an all women's performance evening at 7 Stages Theater in Atlanta. Both poems deal with the Seabergs' loss of their son, a veteran of the Gulf War. Choregraphy by Steve Seaberg.
ONE BODY
Standing at the edge of a war
waiting for future remarks
about sons and daughters who torture
others brought back in shopping carts.
Women and men fall apart!
Weeping through art.
Wars are funeral pyres.
Tears put out eyes and fires.
Ash, freedom and equality
in each body bag.
One sex, one phone call,
and one folded flag.
