.mid-everything.

My stomach

plummets.

                to the        of my feet   
                        bottom

the thought of you
sudden
and
violent

an explosion that catches me
mid-thought
mid-breath
mid-everything

all the shrapnel
flying.

and I am dazed
-frightened-
groping blindly in my feet

while the second round is fired.

Please tell me what you think

    This is a wonderful piece. The flow of the words giving the reader a total sense of falling along with the pace of the lines "mid-thought, mid-breath, mid-everything! Love it.

    indeed.

    i find this easy to understand- maybe because i have had similar experiences, though probably not stemming from the same source.

    Interesting, it can be read in various ways, from the feeling of falling in love with someone, to the total destructive fear of someone else.
    I like the way you have spaced the begingn of this piece giving the reader the feeling of falling to the bottom of you feet.

    Very Well Written
