Poem from a Jumper<\/b><\/p>\n


Most people don\u2019t live long enough<\/p>\n

to inhale water.<\/p>\n

There is no drowning<\/p>\n

at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge,<\/p>\n

but there are fractured ribs<\/p>\n

almost every time, almost every rib,<\/p>\n

as if Adam himself could be shattered.<\/p>\n

Shards of bone travel like tiny scalpels,<\/p>\n

haphazardly pierce the spleen, the liver.<\/p>\n

Shattered vertebrae seek organs<\/p>\n

like search missiles.<\/p>\n

One woman jumped from Golden Gate,<\/p>\n

second trimester pregnant,<\/p>\n

with no injury to the uterus or fetus,<\/p>\n

as if someone held this baby<\/p>\n

in large, soft hands.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
