Thick and Thin Malarial Smears
An eye, a brain, a journey deep down a lens
Examining the secrets of the blood
Parasitic protozoans frozen in place
Artistic smudgings streaked across glass slides
Anopheles has wrought her evil work
Plasmodium slithers across the field
Unknown to the shivering nineteen-year-old
Who writhes in his government-issue cot
In the agonized mysteries of the dark
While rain, hot rain, rattles the freezing tent
