lullaby

was it a lullaby
which woke me from sleep
her somnolent voice
singing in my ears

and realize, i did
that she thrived
on the blood
that was mine..

late in the night
offering me a snug
which felt like a needle
drilling through my skin

clap clap
a loud appaluse
and there she was, dead
the mosquito stuck in my palm!!
