migraine

somethin breakin inside
snappin
crackin
a slow unravelin
thick darkness seepin
in between neurons
wrappin round them
squeezin
vicious
gradual
whispers growin into screams
silence barin teeth
nerve pathways corrode
my skull splittin
where I am the wound
and the knife that carves it
electricity crawls beneath bone
   thru tissue
huntin
pulsin with violence
each breath a plea
with a quiet that knows me
