Description
"A Candle Snuffed" is one of 73 images I created for the book "Nailing Together Bits of Chaos: Jerry-Rigging a Life", poems by Donna Brua. The book is available for sale at my web site http://bitsofchaos.com/books.html
In the poem "Deadline", the poet asks what death may be like--"a gust of wind...or a wet finger and thumb fizz out you wick...
**************************
Deadline
I don�t know whether death
is a line, like a deadline,
or some chasm you have to leap
when maybe you can�t even get out of bed.
Does some pit swallow you
before you know what�s happened
or a gust of wind blow you out
or a wet finger and
thumb fizz out your wick
or a switch flick off and everything
goes black after the flash
of your circuits shorting out,
your life replaying before you?
It�s seen as an outside force
that says time is up, you�ve had enough.
It�s not like eating
when you know you�ve had enough
or too much and you quit.
But not so living, they tell you.
You can�t call it quits on living,
can�t choose when to cross that line.
