Sleeping Mosquito
It is about doubling root number two metres away from me
Two hind legs inclined 15 degrees to the right nearly parallel
The muddy brown rectangular body and cylindrical torso
are perpendicular to the line where the two walls meet
We count the invisible hours
attached to different shades of light and touch of white
Give me 30 minutes to eat
Will it still be there waiting when I return
And will it still be in that position
Allow me to touch it in all its variations in the solidity of its life
