just came back

just came back
seuda, feast,
in the memory
of a neighbor's son
I never knew him
but
a year ago
he was killed
not here, in Europe
and his family is mourning
and we feasted
and remembered
even those of us
who never knew him

bereaved parents
ask, invited
so I went
I hope it gave them strength
to go on
with their lives
