Last Easter
my Abuela 
Tata
wore her shoes
to Easter Mass
in America
just like she has
so many times 
since leaving Cuba
so many years ago
with an incomplete
goodbye.
This year
Tata's shoes
and some of
her other 
favorite things
are in Cuba
without her
going to Easter Mass
on the feet of
others 
we love.
And in that,
we find
the smallest
glorious 
peace.
