​migraine... Poem by sandheep sudhakaran

Midday, anchored sun!
An unknown attack on my head,
Crazy, one-sided.
Blast in the thalamus!
Strange crying in the brain!
Tearing pain in my forehead.
​My room:
Black shade with the window curtain,
A set of books,
Tiger Balm,
A bowl of hot water,
A Bluetooth speaker,
A piece of cloth tied tightly around my head,
Migranil tablet,
Prepared for war.
Will fight!
Will not surrender!
​Words must be hunted
and eaten from the pile of books.
Hanumankind's shuddering rap
from Bluetooth's well of death.
'The Tiger' was prepared
for hunting on the forehead.
​Pain - Pain
Struggle - Struggle
​Medicines keep trying to trick the brain.
​Half-burning pains in the forehead.
​Bent down to pick up the fallen book,
But, I fell into an electric trap
hidden above my left ear.
​Pains are common!
It's just that
it has moved from
the chest to the head.
