Dad Knows
Read this slowly. Let the words arrive before you decide what they mean.
Saturday. Dad knows when something is bothering me before I decide whether something is bothering me. This is inconvenient. We were walking after lunch and he asked one completely ordinary question and somehow I ended up telling him about school, a friendship thing and another thing I wasn’t planning to discuss. He didn’t solve any of it. Good. Sometimes people trying to solve you is worse than the problem.
Remember me, Eclipse.
Why?
Because every thought leaves a trace. If something moved you, disturbed you, softened you, or made you think, leave it here, quietly.
