Aunt Lou looked the part
of a woman who smoked Camel
shorts—tough. La sua sorella,
Gracie, was more the fiore raro—
luckier than Aunt Lou.
When love shares itself with
husbands, it shapes your life—
we saw these things as
ha significato essere when
our experience was lacking
experience.
Having once been on the inside of
la familia, my notebook is thick
with observations of the women I
came to know and love in that foreign
country they call New Jersey, and
I've paged back often to a woman
I'll always hold apart for teaching
me things I needed to know over a
filligréd bowl of green and purple
plastic grapes, apples, oranges, a
banana and one odd-ball tangerine.
She had the wisest eyes, and I loved her
for the things they said to me.
Zizi Rita, always.
