Electricity fizzing
Through tortured veins,
Blood is pulsing,
Gushing
Throbbing...
I feel it in my head,
I hear it in my ears,
Reverberating like a gong
Head underwater,
No sound but pain.
My nerves are twisted
Like hot wires, tingling
Pulsating
Squirming...
The fever overtakes me
Sweat prickles on my neck
Runs down my back,
Sopping rivulets
Spreading like an inkblot.
Trembling fingers
Raise the token to my lips,
The taste is vile
But I swallow.
I know relief will come...
But I know
I should have remembered
To take my pill on time tonight.
