Tanka on Thursday this time

This one isn't part of any challenge, but I wanted to still post a tanka this week. In the upcoming zine, I talk a bit about the tanka form and include a few new ones. Here is one I wrote recently, about how I feel when I have a migraine headache, which makes for a miserable day.

I will stay in bed

no meds can help just sleeping

soft blanket and cat

it’s going to be all right

restless sigh for a lost day
