What a wonderful a nd descriptive poem! One can imagine sitting in a park waiting for someone and having no choice but to surrender to mosquitoes. The effects are powerful descriptions of the feeling oof overwhelming
disgust as to what is happening to this person. ...Spaces between sandal leather are declared an all you can eat buffet...describes to this reader one most sensisitive area when being chewed by insects as well as to what extent this attack feels like. Devouring my ankles is not pleasurable, as by cognitive recall it would not be. It leaves the reader with much to the imagination as far as what devouring means to different populations and readers. Line seventeen begins the comparison of athe person in this poem experiencing a unique experience while having been bitten by these bugs. I sense a motherliness or caring role of the victim, if you will, towards these parasites. The writers character not only surrenders in that there is no choice, to these insects, but actually takes on a caring, personal experience throughout this piece. My criticism would be to focus more on blood-sucking insects, such as, mosquitoes, or ticks. Not many other than dust mites feed on dead skin like mites and mice. This poem, this reader feels, is full of a sort of turning point anthesis whereas the insects of one such park or other are not exactly welcome in the usual sense-very diufferent subject matter and this reader enjoyed reading it!
