A tickling of migraine
A roller coaster not quite buckled in
And rising
Rising
A pressure to push your heart from your chest and do something
A stalling breath a sigh to sign you will live
perhaps
on another plane
I am misspent time
Unopened til spoiled
Begging for my sins to be forgotten
Forgiven
I am unclaimed
Baggage
Unheeded crone
Wandering the carousels of men’s hearts
Snatching up the eyes of all the younger patrons
And hissing as they pass
Drumming my rhythm
Proud and true
