traditions
family customs
recipes passed on
one generation to the next
memories
gifts from the past
to be shared
in the present

Through the night,
some time
awake and wondering,
as often I do,
What am I missing?
Routine occurrence.
Random shame,
specifically
of nothing.
Why do I wonder?
Dreams restore,
remind us what happened,
when and why who
said what.
Why do I not remember?
Insomnia illustrates little
of what it should.
If I wasn’t awake
now and again.
What am I missing?
