Lawrence Hall, HSG [email protected] Draining the Blood of Humans at Twilight A powerful monster // living down in the darkness growled // in pain… -Beowulf, Burton Raffel translation In the sinister dusk // they seek our blood A ghastly enemy // of disgusting thirst Stealing up from the swamp // and primordial mud – Well, we stole their habitat // – mosquitoes were here first!
