Long Bed bug Poems

I opened my heart

I prayed the psalms at dawn, at four hours after midnight

like a ruler that will never break.

With his gray stricken beards
Caressed his antiquated flute
Perching on his cracked dehydrated lips
With his spindly fingers

It wasn't the bed-bug kind
It didn't hurt to feel the bite,

Not Let Each Bed Bug Bite

In the form section Poetry Soup

and then I retire for...
