Cave Painting
all night
while i
tried to
sleep
a mosquito
wielding a
megaphone
hovered
above my
ear as if
trying to
fly in
why not if
wanting
to take
some of
me bite my
bare arms
or legs but
stop from
keeping me
of needed
sleep but
i do only
to wake
to find
an itch
where
she'd been
but now
she's on
the wall
since the
windows were
closed taking my
open hand smash
my
own
blood
red on
white
with a
slight
smear
