I had never thought about the memorial services and pilgrimages as part of the tourist industry from the point of view of the buried. I appreciate more than ever the visits to local graves as a solemnity of Memorial Day.<br /><br />But your poem itself is a thing of beauty! I am so moved by its voice and images! Is it visible in the cemeteries you and Sylvia K (comment above) mention?

Then i looked at the date and I was like wow, as I'm assuming this was one of those forgotten pieces Kerry mentioned in the OLM write up and was like, how in the world did this gem go forgotten. Really glad I stayed up a little later than usual tonight, if not for anything other than reading your piece here.
