each day at 3:15
for about two months running
my upper right shoulder begins to scream
pain lights up the length of my shoulder blade like
a christmas tree on the first of december
i jerk back and clasp my hands
drink a sip of water
stretch back
the shouting disintegrates into a dull murmur
i don't think anyone else can hear it
but i'm quite certain it will return
my body is starting to tell me what
my mind already knows
