SHHHHH
The hiss of my father signals
That I have been too loud
Again.
SHHHHHHHHH
Again, my father admits
That he values
Silence over my Presence.
"Do you know what I mean?"
I say, after explaining some issue I was facing.
"No"
He says, shutting down our communication
With no other signs
That my conversation means
Anything more to him
Than white noise.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The hiss of my father signals
That I have been too loud
Again.
SHHHHHHHHH
Again, my father admits
That he values
Silence over my Presence.
"Do you know what I mean?"
I say, after explaining some issue I was facing.
"No"
He says, shutting down our communication
With no other signs
That my conversation means
Anything more to him
Than white noise.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
