SUNNY

Woke up today, feeling relieved that my headache from yesterday was probably gone. My migraine episode can feel like a FROWN, hovering somewhere above my body. The migraines can even TINGE the way everything looks, like I am looking through a filter on a camera lens. Unfortunately, being a “migraineur” can make me dread a SUNNY day, as direct bright light can bring on the headache part of the migraine episode. The brain is such a fascinating organ, and I wish mine were a little less interesting.

These words evoke commercials
for laundry or feminine hygiene products.
FRESH scents, only a SCANT
amount to infuse or cover odor.
Sheets or women SWING.
Cotton fabrics, long tresses
sway in soft breezes.
SOUND of birds chirping.
Maybe children laughing.
Definitely skies always SUNNY.
Meanwhile I lay here kinda stinky.
Everything overdue for washing.
