Past Memories

Memories return
A persistent rash on the skin
Dirty fingernails
Whispers and echoes of mind
Represent care of some kind

I remember.... I remember waking up that day, flooded by memories I didn't want... I luckily had that care from your last line. I am deliberately interpreting your tanka literally, because I cannot do otherwise here. Sorry for being so cryptic.

The tanka is yours. With readers (and writers) like you, it's worth every bit the effort. John
