The Draw-away
My bedroom door that is not
flush, that will not close fully but adheres to the jamb, makes a palatal
K sound, nudged from its fastness. A nocturnal draught, or is it him, on his
final rounds? Oh I have been difficult, made trouble, knocked on the wall when
my neighbour was playing The Lighthouse Family too late, when it was getting
him through, as he looked at old photos. The air is chilled, as if the father
he lost is chastising me now.
