if you are a citizen of a place without crimes against humanity, without genocidal history, without imperialism

if the language you speak has never spoken crime into existence or war

do places of grief & gathering say that?

i dont think the dead are complicated

i think they smile at being remembered

by anyone under any circumstance who simply cares
