Resuscitate
-
Jordan's head turned upwards ,eyes closed . Messy brown hair falls to shoulders . Jordan is a white femme with brown hair, and freckles.
Back cover:
in white lettersLet me braid jasmine into your hair,
root you below the redwood trees
that raised us-Love Letter to Myself
below that:
Raise your hand
if you’ve had to raise up the animal in you to survive.
We become gritted teeth,
bodies they only see when they want us
They hunt us because we are their nightmares
the witch in us is hotter than their fire.
-Hell Hath No Fury Like Witches Who Didn't BurnOn front cover, in white letters:
Resuscitate
Poems by Jordan Wilson-Dalzell
Self published chapbook
“An ode to the power of claiming survivorhood in a world where our bodies are weaponized against us. Resuscitate speaks to the journey of facing the ghosts of trauma, mental illness and patriarchy: how intersectional feminism brought this survivor back to the land of the living.”

“Definition of Rape Culture
The men in this poem
have many names
The guys in this poem
are probably sitting in this room
Always demanding femmes explain rape culture to you, right now
What you are asking for:
is an execution. ”
“People keep asking me when I got sick
As if they’ve ever known me healthy””
“Learning how to let myself
be water and earth”
“my eyes,
windows abandoned
Friends bolting out the door
at first whiff of trauma”
“Crooked bones, failed bridges
Water never needed to
stretch far to hold me.”
“My femme family line
is so used to fitting ourselves
into to someone else’s
planter box
And calling this self improvement
-Motherline”
“Anxiety is siren
singing to my body
Begging it
to shed my skin”
