headaches

they creep up your spine towards your occipitaii
up your arms, across your shoulder blades, sliding
along your scapula towards your skull, they skulk,
in fact, slinking along they continue to coalesce,
all those cranky crustacean crinks in your neck,
your back, they gather for their headache festivities
while all you can do is be a spectator at your own
miserable sideshow.
