Sick
It was a nail
A thin gray plain looking nail
Stuck right into
The side of my skull
I noticed it one morning
Brushing my teeth
Every morning I’d wake up
To the sight of it
It gave me headaches
And sadness
During the long winters
As if someone had hammered
All of their pain
Straight into my head
And it took the form
Of this nail
I began to think
It was yours
