Lucky Me

 LUCKY ME
~~~~~

death has chased me
three times pulled from the sea
crowbar… past my head

illnesses
death teasing the Grim Reaper
I laughed in his face

I ponder lost life…
many friends'  younger than me
I cry at the thought

one more… I forgot…
sat on a canyon bridge wall
fainted… note… I write

three line tales… all true
evoked by life being chased
finding home from home
