On The Father’s Day

The conversation with my dad
builds a monolith of laments.
Somehow he has learnt to sing
since his death and sings the song
I have in my head.

Oh, hush. I hiss. His voice breaks into
white noise and crickets. My mind is
a porch and an evening bush.
Here the dog, not ours, buried some bones.
My father makes an instrument using those.

Does the tune attune to an age of easy belief?
