Tiny, invisible in light
Persistent
Its your persistence that leaves me astonished
Female
Always the aggressor, always female
Resilient
Resilient to any attack
Fertile,
Fervent
Hungry.
Unwelcome
You couldn’t care less
Intoxicated as you are
By the hunger for survival.
Motherfuckingbloodsuckers.
(A verse on mosquitoes.) Every time I’m in Kerala with its Dubai-esque buildings and malls, its harnessing of solar energy, its empowered women… its also fascinating to see how humans have failed in their battle against mosquitoes.)
