My mind will fold
itself into an origami bird
that will flap its paper wings
in a skull that forever
contains it. Bruised and abandoned,
all movement will stop
and anything bird-like
will beat itself into oblivion.
All will be lost in the thuds
of paper bird head wacked
against senseless bone.
So what will it be instead?
Not bird. Not brain.
Just wrinkled and broken,
and in the creases, you will find
the cracks that lead to fields
of birds born wild and free
