I really do get a lot of barometric pressure headaches. Being outside today for part of the day helped, but it returned this evening. I hear it is going to rain tomorrow. That will help too, but for now it is literally all that is on my mind.
Barely There
A
light nagging in my noggin
All
day long and into the evening hours
Just
enough to let me know it is there
Right
between my temples
At
the top of my nose
Extending
like a halo round
My
head is cloudy
Clumsy
movements
Fumbling
flights
Lingering
on a second
A
minute or an hour
The
constant pressure
Of
an unknown hand
Presses
down
Keeping
time
With
my lack of it
Not
knowing why
I
cross from my office
Into
the kitchen and back
With
nothing in my hands
I
sit down
Start
over
Stare
out
Hoping
it will rain soon
To
release that valve
That
holds the steam
From
escaping
So
my whistle
Can
blow
To
make tea
On
this lovely afternoon
Smelling
the flowers
See
the bright colors
Not
screaming
But
loving
A
queen’s pleasure
in
this measure
Released
from this prison
to
breathe in spring’s joy
