Textual Frustration

Mosquito

I saw a mosquito die today.
Not by human hand; I didn’t
kill it—merely watched as it

fluttered erratically and during
its downward spiral
into the floor I gave it a name

and we shared history.
You came out and asked
about dinner—ignoring

the bloodied corpse in
the middle of
our conversation.
