***
la familia gathers
dressed Sunday best
down the street from
the most famous churches
of a city famous
for whites burning them
drinking
cuban coffee, and listening
to latin dance music
barely after noon
shouting
to the Miami game
that plays by the corner bar
to the Miami game
that plays by the corner bar
eating
the most traditional dish
the chef says, like
turkey stuffing for Thanksgiving
which is next week
and my grandmother
who may not be
next week
she waits for me
in the city
too busy to hate
