Death and Transchiggeration

[RiverNotch]

At first, I thought I would reply with Strauss's "Death and Transfiguration", but then that would be a little too on-the-nose. Besides, this one's much more affecting, at least in my opinion:

Death and Transchiggeration Yep, swell title. Hmm... same basis, though vastly different theme: "Todd und Verklaerung"?

Crushed a tiny biting bug
between my fingers -
felt the itch,
saw black pinhead
which disintegrated.
Let her suck her picoliter
in bug heaven from
some willing angel, or
in Hell, a microdemon, 
from the forearm
of some hopeless wretch,
not mine.
"Let her suck her picoliter in bug heaven from some willing angel, or in Hell, a microdemon, from the forearm of some hopeless wretch, not mine." The sentence reads a little too loopy for me. Maybe just remove the hell lines, to highlight the irony: "[b]in bug heaven from / [/b]
[b]some willing angel, from / [/b]
[b][b]the forearm of some hopeless / [/b][/b]
[b][b][b]wretch -- not mine." [/b][/b][/b]
or even "
in bug heaven from / 
some willing angel, / 
from the forearm / 
of some hopeless wretch -- / 
[b]not mine."[/b]
