Memorial Day 2006
for my parents
All of the dead, some in uniform, parents, old, children too young.
Holes in families, empty houses. Shadows on people. A name in rock.
A person remembers someone. A town, a life.
Countries give speeches. Speeches about speeches.
Speeches about people. Too far away to know.
And I can't tell you. You had to see them. In their towns. Both sides.

Thank you for you kind comments. I did write the piece.
As to the lack of comments. I like think that at least I don't have to put up with conservative trolls.
