Peter Onyancha Poet Narrative

I Slept With a Female Mosquito - Part Ii

I Slept with a Female Mosquito
(part II)

Thoughtless, it perched 
The hollow leech, insolent bloodsucker
Sardonic radiation of the red mine; mine! 
Psychedelic distress; wily mistress
She, nude, proudly poses pregnant
With my blood! I am drained
My blood. Myself. My! Fever
What’s my blood group, thief! I have no idea…
Where did you bite, vampire! My body itches…
Touched the jugular? Flying carnivore – 
How many jabs administered, Anopheles!
Silence; mute, not a word, something is long!
Very long; That’s not bright. Wrong – 
This fellows don’t respect the Permanent Secretary
A P.S! … what treatment, a P.S!
In a retreat, at the beach; I will not retreat
