Migraine

Wake up to peppered eyes,
a neck twisted overnight,
and ants wriggling in your shoulders,
blunt dagger poking at your gut,
while you're running from the lights
as you frown and get up.

Spend all day with horses
galloping in your head,
the right temple pulsates like
a Buddhist temple's gong being struck at,
with constant whistling in your ears,
the scents, they make it worse
as food travels up your oesophagus.

Go to bed; tearing up for no reason,
nails scuff a blackboard near your ear,
cuddle with yourself cause you're alone,
rub your arms to keep from getting cold,
in the end, you can't do much but go sleep
with this cranial pain,
a migraine.

Some other great works-
