It's Still Life

Mosquito Chatter

mosquitoes chattering
at the porch light,
tapping, demanding entry
at the back door,
tangled in the patterns
of the bedding nets,
screeching bugger banshees
flying by my ears,
and I heave myself at
the fly swatter,
swinging and swatting.
see that mosquito
splat on the wall?
it’s an anatomy of dead.
and here comes another one —
reload.
