that fourth thursday

we’re not celebrating thanksgiving in italy today
so when i’m missing the way things were
it’s easier to be here

and at the same time more difficult

recalling time-honored family traditions
with my parents and grandparents
as well as new rituals my own family-of-four created

interesting, the twists and turns of life

wishing everyone in the states
a day of coziness and good cheer
(with a special shout-out to my favorite two)
