Poet In The Jar Diaries: Another Flash

Another Flash

I saw myself dying again.
It was just a flash, just a glimpse, something fast that flickered me by while driving. But it felt so real. I saw it so clearly. Heard myself hit the brakes, saw the car slide across the road. Heard the scraping metal as I crashed. Saw the blood, oozing out of my chest, as the iron pipe from the truck ahead of me pierced my lungs.
Is it such a wonder that I sometimes find it hard to focus on driving, when interruptions like these come along?
Sigh.
As a side note on the good side of things, got another two fans at Allvoices. Seems with every post I make I gain more fans. Something to hold on to that is!

For Dust And Memories

My Poetic Intentions

My world is like a glass jar that isolates me from the rest of the world, and the glass is the cover that life has placed on my eyes. Inside it I am the poet who hasn't decided whether the lid should be opened or closed - if reality should be welcomed inside, or if madness should be let out.

I'm Poet in the Jar. I've had this blog going since 2007 and use it to post and store poetry, lyrics and random, spontaneous thoughts on life and everything that comes along with it.
