Death of a House Flea
Infinite forces have connecting channels
Bending them innately into webs of complexity
Pattern too expansive for comprehension lies dormant
Beneath the phenomenal world of observation
Heirarchic occult structures
Apex in nexi beyond reasonable calculation
Ultra-sensitive pressure-points of universal influence
Permeate the continuum of manifestation
Challenging the creation of other dimensions
With a seemingly insignificant action
A Spring cleaning, a routine repellant;
A can of insecticide used to douse a particular corner
THE SON OF HEAVEN
Sits within the shag rug
The Flea Fulcrum Cosmique - Crux of existence
Is extinguished by the casual cleaner
Rug, floor, room, house dissolve
Ever-widening, a nothingness develops as reality's veil is lifted
Galaxy, Universe flickers and goes out like a candle flame
Blown by the winds of insecticide
All is silent and calm
Echoes of Flea death reverberate back and forth
In emptiness
