obscene mosquito

obscene mosquito
obsequious to my blood
following thin trails of CO2
like veins of gold
through the quartz air

the rush has just begun
it is dusk 1809
and i am california.

i wear your delicate wound
on my leg like a lampshade
after you are dead
but your sister keeps following me
buzzing sweet nothings into my ear
and eating my lobes.

the golden itch bleeds
and my skin curses at me for letting it happen
as i scratch my ear over her corpse.
