I am a frequent receiver of migraines. Here's an older poem of mine on that very subject, written in the throes.

Migrainosaurus wreck
The colors seem knifed on,
by the edge.
So things spread.
And some cuts under the brow,
the inner thought, the inside
juices curdling. The hot weight
of the hot heated wait of the night.

Too much light. Too much information.
Just the idea makes things sick.
Pulsing coagulated rainbow,
glittering and shining in the
slag junkheap artifice
of the brain's unsure health.

We want our dreams back.
We want our nights and days.

well done my friend....
I have only had one or two headaches I would even dare to classify as migrane...and you capture well the way they felt..

some very interesting and descriptive passages here..... you do indeed have a way of taing ordinary words and making them extraordinary in their meaning.

Thank you both for enjoying this raw read.
I consider myself lucky.
Some of my friends get them so bad
they have to pull over and take deep breaths.
I do see pulsing color
at the edge of things
sometimes, though.

very good choice of words, I know how horrible migranes can be, although I don't have them anymore since I stopped drinking coffee and eating chocolate, but anyway a very good transcription of those feelings
