    I was sucked in by this poem because of its rawness which I totally liked. I have a couple of suggestions which you can consider or not...

    I had a nightmare
    last night that my hair
    was set on fire.
    The blue flames were

    ^^ the is not necessary

    invading my guts,
    burning through my
    chest, then withdrawing
    fast, only to
    cover me again.

    ^^

    I'd have a break here to let the reader digest what you're saying.

    It took twenty four
    minutes for my
    soul to leave
    my body.

    Again..I'd leave a space here...

    I died.

    I sit down
    and the screams
    electrify me.

    They burned the house of that widow last week,
    it was the smallest house in town.

    I look at my hands.
    I imagine my bones being fractured,
    a bone by a bone.
    What could be happening now in
    those dark rooms?

    A finch hopping on the balcony distractes *distracts *me.

    I sit down and
    feel my ribs, still intact.

    This poem had a spooky feel to it...was it a dream? or perhaps another experience in some other life???
