I’m itchy from head to ankle
rubbing across, up and down.
Red raised hard bumps 
rise in weird places:
left side of forehead,
upper back below neck
above shoulder blade,
under arms on triceps,
top of a vein at bottom of hand,
left forearm, edge of elbow
along side of inner right calf.

Could one broken winged
mosquito buried deep 
in bedding cause all this
damage and discomfort? 
Rest in peace dead mosquito.
Guess I’ll soon find out.
