Her poem, Kinder than Man, has apparently been restructured, added to, and attributed to Kayla Ancrum as Spider Poem. This version, which has been circulating widely online as an image, is reproduced below as text:
If I am killed for simply living
Let death be kinder than man
And God,
Please let the deer on the highway
get some kind of Heaven.
Something with tall, soft grass
and sweet reunion.
Let the moths in the porch lights
go someplace with a thousand suns,
that taste like sugar and get swallowed whole.
May the mice in oil and glue
have forever dry, warm fur and full bellies.
I pray nobody kills me for the crime of being small.
The original poem, Kinder than Man, is as follows:
And God
please let the deer
on the highway
get some kind of heaven.
Something with tall soft grass
and sweet reunion.
Let the moths in porch lights
go someplace
with a thousand suns,
that taste like sugar
and get swallowed whole.
May the mice
in oil and glue
have forever dry, warm fur
and full bellies.
If I am killed
for simply living,
let death be kinder
than man.
