Thanksgiving Poem

thanks be to gratitude
for its very existence,

its ability to polish
the pockmarks of our

most sullen faces
into high sheen,

its strength as it pulls us
away from the solitary razor and lonely noose

back toward the crowded table
laden with a feast

we may have fretted about yesterday,
may regret tomorrow,

but which right now
is enough.
