Flee or Flea
I dreamt of fleas and house cleaning again
The itchy creatures were reciting poetry
Haiku, tanka, couplets, quatrains, odes,
Sonnets to the skin, in iambic pentameter
Not stopping in their everlasting multiplication
The spectre of a vet looms large and threatens
The existence of the wily indestructible flea
Oh I know my time is up I just want blood me
Vampires in films get much more screen time
But the Ctenocephalides felis hogs the Front Line
~Olinda Ninolakis

tossed overboard

on a broken toilet

universe converses with me
through dreams
