concussion

I'm thinking waves
..huge, soaring waves

they're cold and solid
painful and penetrating

brightly coloured
(lapis blue)
but once inside, I see only black

I need to vomit;
the ride is too rocky,
the blow was too hard

I need to lie down
in a dark room,
close to an opened window

I was shaken, hit, pushed over
now
I'm dealing with the bruising and the swelling
-- I'm a patient patient
