A poem about sudden occurances, presented in a unique form.

Flash

V. To burst forth into flame
The sun between clouds
The match lit in darkness
The best part of a story
The shot of a gun
The Hindenburg
The wreck she died in
N. A sudden thought or remembrance
Burners left on
Anniversaries, the day before
Images from a dream
Old girlfriends on cold nights
Friends, lost and gone
Last kisses, long ago
V. To appear, occur, then conclude suddenly
A fish’s shimmer
A girl’s shy smile
A boy’s first time
A nation’s history
A person’s life
A last breath
V. Slang: To expose oneself indecently
Excuse me. You don’t know my name,
but I think
I love you
