My grandpa was proud to have
his brother or uncle or cousin
serve against the invading
Japanese that we spent
a day at the Cemetery
of Heroes in search of his cross
or headstone or even just
his name in whatever archives
we could probe but nothing,
not even my grandpa angered
at the dishonor or shocked
at having been lied to, made
that day a proper event,
just a bit of light rain.
