SECOND SIGHT
Jean Burden

Beloved,
I can see you twice:
another self
hangs luminous above your head,
violet as sun upon the sea
after the sun has set.
The dark cloud of mind
blown by
lets free a second sight:
what you appear to be, and what you are
run toward me in the light.
In sleep and death,
In love,
the shadow springs alive from ground and wall-
the heart
sees double,
if it sees at all.

The WPA works with women throughout all stages of criminal justice involvement; from providing alternatives to incarceration and helping women living in the community avoid arrest or incarceration by making positive changes in their lives, to being a resource and source of support to them as they plan for release. After incarceration, WPA helps women build the lives they want for themselves and their families in the community.
