Buzz in the Dark
by June Nash
.
warm flesh prickles with dread
quiet buzz around head
I lie awake in bed
.
creature arouses fright
as it halts to alight
on this still humid night
.
cannot see in the dark
as the thing makes it’s mark
arousing feelings stark
.
move to brush it away
squashed on arm it will lay
bloody mosquito splay
