Grateful
(As the Dead Go)

How blank I have to be to
force grief grace gravy
(the last one is fiction)
on Thanksgiving.

Life comes from the
subplot arose in the
southern hemisphere
that grew into a big ol’ goal.

What gets me’s not the new
Christmas Tree in Union Square
nor the skating rink, not even
a new credit card.  But the

out for a bit of air push through it all
step in front of the other.  Toward that goal.
