Each droplet consumes
Pin points of individual pressure
accumulating together to envelope head
Steam gradually billows into nostrils
with a comforting fragrance of soap
mixed within the humidity
Head tilted back as the only
movement worthy of risk
Muscles ache as tension penetrates
each limb fighting for balance
Eyes closed while the torrent
of hot water engulfs
all senses
Deep breath in
Deep breath out
Ever careful to avoid tempting
the bile to advance from chest
into mouth
Lights turned down low
or completely off
Creating smaller spaces within
the safety of darkness
The minutes pass unnoticed
while pressure either eases
or continues to burn
Some migraines are easier to manage
than others
Either the day continues or the
mind is lost to absolute insanity.
I am grateful for the opportunity of modern luxuries ❤
