Migraine Madness

Migraine Madness

The tell-tale heartbeat of the head with it's river of life
running with impotent rage through and under everything
increases
expands

stresses with every jagged thought
synaptic dagger points poke delicate ocular nerves with every molecule of
light
war drums play deep within sensitive ears

as shiny black bugs scurry behind the corner of the eyes
every blink, a bomb blast
every whisper, a screeching yell
pressure bleeding out the nose and an internal earthquake splits the

cerebellum
as the doctor's empty black bag cries
"No cure!  No cure!  No cure!"
