Unveiling
I wanted to stay with you
after I put the stone
on your monument,
but I was expected
to leave
with my dad,
and it would have shocked
everyone there
if I had said,
"I'll take buses and trains
back, so go without me."
So I looked all around
and visited you
through each year
that you were with me
and added all the years
to the words
on the monument,
with the sentence,
present in supposedly
non-authentic Jewish texts:
"We'll meet again."
Not goodbye, then,
but good new life
and years.
Come when you're ready.
