The gray day presses

against

the curved pane of my brow,

A low-pressure ache

in residence grinding

behind

my right eye.

And I —

who love the rain —

feel only the damp,

the permeating chill

that creeps into my being,

that even sleep and a cup

of good, hot tea

cannot

relieve.

  1. Not that I “like” that you have a migraine, of course.

    • Maybe acknowledging it through verse will exorcise it…?!

  2. Ouch 🤕
