The Buzz of a mosquito
Is the sound of something trying to be quiet ,
With a motive ...
to **** your blood
.
It's Impossible to sleep now,
so I Turn on every light .
This poem could go on --
About bugs being attracted to light,
Especially bugs that I don't like.
The slow reach for the tee shirt to roll up-
The satisfying snap, with a primal yell-
Blood on the wall
Lingering guilt after it all,
After a breath,
I click the lamp off,
and tuck into my warm covers,
My blankie's so soft!
expecting to enjoy such a peaceful rest,
But sensing weight,
Sitting on my chest...
The mosquito thirsty for my blood,
Somehow had took my best..
it's tiny buzz of life nowhere
Within this newfound silence!
One can hardly sleep
Amidst the saddening absence.
