Migraine

I feel the pulsating drip of a faucet

lesser than the rhythm of the heartbeat.

Just beneath the right brain

appears the protuberance of the vein

magnifying the burden.

As if my head flattens, bulges or stretches

North or to South; West or to East.

I'm lost. I'm stress.

I want to behead my temple

not to feel the seizure and bustle

or I'd trade my faith to the aspirin

to discount the pounding pain.

In the quiet room, behind

I would lie down to unwind

and seek a peace of mind.
