Mesh Hat Advertisement

In the pungent darkness of the early hours
I throw the blanket off, tear away the sheet
The fan is whirring like an airplane engine
My limbs are heavy, I hear a creak
Out in the hallway, wrapped in shadows
A lanky figure glides into view
He has my mother's face, my father's features
Accepts no light, reflects no hue

Hours pass without distinction
He does not leave the doorway, he does not speak
I feel a kind of pressure, a silent question
His eyes are watery, he does not blink
What do you want? Just tell me what you want
White hair knuckles, mesh hat advertisement
What do you want? Just tell me what you want
Why don't you say something

We made a detour to the coast
Cold April runoff, bitter green
Wade out barefoot and slipping on the blackened debris
Happy to feel like the only living thing
