This headache,
sits like a crow
between my brows;
feels heavier
than it should.

I don't sleep well
don't drink enough
water don't exercise
chase coffee with
alcohol write poems.

If I close my eyes
I see a haloed white
rectangle. It is the
headache, it is the ghost
of the computer screen.

I bite my nails while
typing; the keys
don't feel right
without the entirety
of my fingertips.

I shake my head
periodically, it
fixes the equilibrium
and I enjoy the
rustling of feathers.
