Vampire Bat by Naila Moreira

The blood jet is poetry,
There is no stopping it.—Sylvia Plath

It will come for you
in the night, they say.
It thirsts, it thirsts, this tiny devil,
a mite out of Pandora’s horde.
Iron chandelier, clamped umbrella,
it’s stuck together with glue,
amalgam of parts,
this dream of our maladies.
A boy climbed a tree after fruit, got bit,
brought liquid death to the village.
But that was another continent,
another dark binder
of the two worlds.
Black butterfly bandage
descends in a flutter
to anaesthetize, pattern our wounds.
This jungle’s not meant to be ours.
