The quoted line is from the poem of ‘Persephone the Greek
Goddess of Spring’ by Ingrid Jonker. The line ‘your eyes dried seeds, your body
a husk of light’ means that—in your eyes dried seeds, it is trying to point out
the daughter of Persephone, in which it symbolizes the way of her daughter
going back to the underground while her mother didn’t even paid attention to
the nature, in which she should. Your body a husk of light is trying to point
out the last time Persephone saw her daughter.

From "On Being A Cripple" by Nancy Mairs
The claim is "I am a cripple."
Explanation:
This claim by Nancy is an assertion by her that something is. Usually, as Nancy is making the declaration, she does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation. This is because the readers of this story cannot ascertain why Nancy concludes that she is crippled. If some evidence is given, the claim remains subjective as it is the narrator's personal opinion. After all, she can still claim that she is divinely and extremely blessed in her physical condition.
Nancy Mairs (1986) wrote this short story to question the imprecise descriptions that society has been coining to label some people who are not like others in physical look, as if lessening the truth or bluntness about a person's condition could lessen the pains. For Nancy, she disagrees totally. Instead, she finds meaning and humor on being described as a cripple, the plain truth about her physical condition. She states that she is simply physically crippled. No euphemism should be intended.
Even as I am checking my write-up on this issue, it is being reported as "sensitive" instead of "vulgar." This shows that our society is relegating truth to niceties, just to pander to the sensibilities of others.
