MICHAEL JORDAN
She
 is a book with the ending ripped out
 is a puzzle with pieces jammed in
 misplaced
 it is an ocean 
 where everything gets lost in the 
 vast depths
 life comes and goes 
 like leaves
 falling from an old oak tree
 
 the medics tried to save her
 but their human fingers held no magic
 the holes from her hatred pierced 
 her delicate body
 the anger was 
 smudged across her perfect complexion
 frozen in place
 
 she was just a ragdoll now
 arms that used to grow strong
 hang limp
 weakly waving in the wind
 like the oak tree snapped
 and let the life slowly pour out
 feeding the rest of the hungry world
 
 another doctor
 the alpha of his pack
 found her diary
 words scratched with the blood
 from inside her heart
 pictures drawn from the constellation
 of scars scattered over her body
 
 the only comment he made —
 “when she jumped, she did not want to die
 she simply thought she would fly”
