Out of Titles

I stood in shock
staring
at the picture
from
all those Thanksgivings
ago.

So many new built traditions.

I have adjusted
and the very act of that
seems wrong.

How did this happen?
How did I let it?

I am shocked.

But
I cannot dwell on what is not.

Maybe.

How do you?

What do you say to those
who lost so long ago
they have already
forgotten?
