Fibromyalgia

and then buzzing starts below skin shocks shoot along veins I hold my arm a different pain today it buckles the knee grinds the shoulder it burns the elbow gnaws the hip I rub my back a deep breath and sigh ricochets ribcage-aches like children playing at pinball machines another new pain today another old pain tomorrow the everywhere everyday unsurprising surprise and a spasm grips within muscle
