This is Mild, so I think I can get away with making this quick comment about the poetic use 'nerves'.
In the early 2000s, I was at a bookstore in a town not my own, and I was reading an Introduction to Charles Baudelaire's one main book, and it mentioned Paul Verlaine writing poems about nicotine and nerves. Which, by historical standards, makes 'nerves' "poetic".
