The Wall

People keep saying I am doing great like they cannot see the ash on me. The kids ask normal questions in voices that make my ribs hurt. Her coat is still where she left it because moving it feels like agreeing with reality. I know all the account numbers now and I would trade every one of them for one more boring Tuesday. I miss being the second person in a private language. The old version of me is buried in this somewhere too.
