The mosquit
oes bit, and bit me good.
They feasted well and sucked my blood.
They tasted cheek, leg, hand, arm, and ear!
They lanced through my shield of underwear.
How they got past my jeans, I do not know.
I wish they did not love me so.
And now I itch, and scream, and scratch.
Against their hunger, hatred is no match.
– Karin Rosner (c. 2011)
