For All Souls

x

Soon

And very soon

It will be time for

Remembering

The dead

Los Díos de los Muertos when

Graveyards light with

Stunning light in

Some places,

Other places

Less so

For remembrance

x

There will be candy

Other foods

Meals shared beside

The stones

It is Latino

Latin-x

Other groups have other ways

Of memory

x

For some, this becomes

A party

Like a wake

For others, city-wide

Express or digress

There will be something

It is for

Everyone

Para todos

x

To Latin-x

The community

In thanks

The ones who inspire

A lighted way

For shadows,

A way to catch our tears

But for love

In remembering
