A conversation with a mosquito
Looking forward to the night,
When the thief comes,
With a buzzing sound over my ears;
And my returned slap through the air,
Wanting to know if I am dead or alive.
Dead or alive is synonymous with
Conversation or little conversation.
Perches on my body with little or no weight
If conversation is not returned.
Playing the nurse with its proboscis.
But unlike a good nurse,
Having taken away my pure and good blood,
Injects into my body a poisonous substance;
Which gives me malaria ill-health.
But when the day breaks,
It is nowhere to be found,
When it is eventually found;
It exchanges no greetings and little conversation,
Like friends in cold war.
