Dirty Laundry

my father’s voice
folded me in half
as mom folded towels
into threes
starched and stiff
it hung there
facing the same direction
as his dress shirts
I felt buttoned up
the way I was taught
to fasten the top securely
so the collar would stand-up straight
his tone wrinkled the room
she stacked her thoughts
with the clothes
then hid them away like dirty laundry
as I
continued to iron the air between them
in silence
