DESMODUS ROTUNDUS

2003 Poetry

Have you heard of that thing?

That one evading to be seen?

That teeny furry evil thing

Roaming at night dubiously

Looking for a living?



If target is seized there would

Appear tiny cuts on the skin

And cherry fluids will ooze from within

Lapping the prey up till it stops from breathing



So whether you are plump or lean

Raising a livestock or just meandering

The heat sensor is always working

Leading the teeth to the vein closest to the skin

This one is eerie like the vampire bat. Though you elaborate on bat your poem reminds me of active mosquitoes that can cause immense damage to human and livestock, in that matter assets.
