Pulsing in the head
Gloominess is rendered bright
By wideness of the pupils
Sucking in the light
Milligrams of mercury
Ascending - muscles tight
Interminable impasse
Fright and flight or fight
Gigabytes per second
Written to the RAM
Confirming - re-confirming
I still am - I still am
Then the sudden dullness
Then the sudden pall
Then the sudden numbness
Feel the hammer fall
Confusion washing in now
On a tide of semi-consciousness
How to know where to begin
When time has lost cohesiveness
And every hour the nurses come
And wake me up again
And check that dripping morphia
Has controlled the pain
Later when I want to know
The brain wont let me in
To read the gigabytes it stored
Stored then hid, deep within
I am granted glimpses
That wake me in a sweat
And let me know that trauma passed
May still posses me yet
