MIGRAINE
It comes on quickly. Pain above my eyes. Intense. Sharp.
Carving my head into splinters. Producing nausea. Swallow a couple of pills.
Retreat to a darkened room, a cold cloth on my forehead. Breathe. Concentrate on nothing else. Just
breathe.
shooting stars
watching with held breath
I forget to wish

pain is absorbing, its quite understandable, thanks for sharing this very special haibun
much love...
Wow, very effectively written - the prose and the haiku with it.
Thanks Gillena and Janet. Fortunately, it's been years since I've had any kind of a headache. Now I have arthritis pain, but not headaches. Funny, how the body changes.

Ahhh... a quiet room!
__So glad your headaches have sailed away; I'm only 73, but my arthritis too, seems to be mooring deeply.
__Nifty haibun, too much pain to remember the wish, to avoid the pain_! _m
Thanks for stopping by and for your haiku.
Stay well.
Adelaide
