We Think You Did

 .

Are we the accidental

targets of incursion –

strains and emanations,

dull or lapidary, that not

.

only may have wrought

each vein and capillary

but have filled the brain

until it spills with fraught

.

extremes and reams

of untoward dreams

which, over time,

sufficiently experienced,

.

randomness will always

cause? Or are we products

of quite other laws? – less

mindless intervention

.

than the meretricious play

of someone’s en-passant

intention? Say, a lazy demon,

dabbling crafty fingers

in a pool of water, savoring

the crazy phantoms that

appear – that maybe shaped

this evening’s vision

of a slaughter, of which

you wish whatever power

put it there would rid you.

(You didn’t do it, did you?)
