there’s always a fucking mosquito
in my room at night.
just the one, touching down on my
bare arms and face.
where did he come from?
it’s so cold out he oughta be dead.
too cold in this apartment even,
for mosquitoes.
how you hangin on?
you can nibble on me
get under the covers
with me
I’ll try not to crush you.
I’ll keep you warm
and you can lay your eggs
in my brain.
I don’t need all of it.
just don’t leave me alone,
mister.
I’m so lonely.
