a laserbeam -
going right through my head.
From right between my eyeballs,
straight back through my brain
into the center of my head.
It aches -
no, it burns,
it burns!
It's burning, and spreading,
between my eyeballs and
around my eyeballs and
past my eyeballs.
My head is on fire and I'm not lying.
I'm handed a cold pack as I lay down on the couch.
Off go my glasses, down go my eyelids.
The beautiful teal cold pack goes over my eyes.
Coolness instantly squelches the flames, and
it spreads, it spreads, it spreads.
A shiver runs up my spine,
up to my lips where
it escapes as a sigh.
Relief.
