I Slept With a Female Mosquito - Part Iii

I Slept with a Female Mosquito (part III) Honorable Adjudicators. How did she enter? Anopheles! Oblivious, she trailed me? To my chamber, stalker – to my bed, bawdy Sneaked in my quilt Skirting – The radar of my eye The aerials of my ear And the tax of my hand So, she, at the dead of the hour Far from the clock Infesting, invest in – My ears, my lip, my neck, what pleasure! How did she? I long – how long did I entertain her. In my still time, comatose slumber; torpor. I scrutinize the net; intact – tight, that night. Edge to edge, head to head, end to end There were no moles. The net, bridal new. Anopheles! And you think I will let you go? Scot free! Unpunished! Shame! Part of my bloody pint in her.
