Triduum-ish

x

let’s try it this way

happy trick-or-treating

get chocolate

enjoy night air

and dressing different

as against the veil

ancestors

disguised themselves

as well

x

then enjoy the day

for the saints

the followers of God

who are alive

and acting

faith and charity

all the time

or who must go

in fits and starts

x

then remember

those who are not here

anymore

but as if another veil

draw near to family

so the tradition

goes

with picnics at gravesites

brightly lit for now

while there are conversations

with the dead

in gratitude

for the proximity

x

a kind of triduum

that is

three special days

nothing incumbent or required

(priests would differ)

except that

we should enjoy

we should take part

we should remember

and also

(you know this)

show up in church

or synagogue

or temple

or mosque

or center

some place holy

every now and then
