Headache


My head hurts. It feels hot and heavy, like lead, like the head of a snowdrop, hanging low, burning white against the black winter dirt. Hot and heavy and full. Full of thoughts and boredom and hate; full of nostalgia, full of fear, full of love. All of these things burning up together in a big furnace in my skull, and the pressure is building up behind my eyes and I want to let it all out. In words, or tears or screams or big, heavy sighs.

Or perhaps I’m just coming down with a cold.
