Migraine (With a Line from Sylvia Plath)

These alien sutures through my vision
mean business
All day I have been floating in dots
half-myself, cleared of purpose

Best rethink plans and assess
the trigger
it’s mine alone to bear
the nails, the gun
I am too pure for you or for anyone

I am Persephone, eater of pomegranates
All that the universe plans for me
no amount of Codeine
or love can cure
