To my late kinsman Roee Munder<\/span>"},"content":{"rendered":"They cut your biography half-way,<\/p>\n
didn\u2019t let you complete it.<\/p>\n
Maybe that is why I can\u2019t manage<\/p>\n
to sum you up in an elegy<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Memory flutters \u2013<\/p>\n
a fish out of water<\/p>\n
body, mind and soul trembling,<\/p>\n
refusing to come together<\/p>\n
under the poem\u2019s stretcher<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
maybe also because now,<\/p>\n
five days later, you haven\u2019t yet<\/p>\n
even been laid to rest<\/p>\n
in the crumbly loess<\/p>\n
after last rites.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There has been talk of a mass grave.<\/p>\n
Actually, it could suit you<\/p>\n
to be gathered unto your buddies,<\/p>\n
you who were always the life of the party,<\/p>\n
angel of bags of peanuts and crates of beer,<\/p>\n
the angel of flowing talk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your eyes were always ready to aim<\/p>\n
wide in wonder, a genial telescopic gaze<\/p>\n
erasing any bit of distance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a thicker-than-blood Liverpool<\/p>\n
kinship you were my lens,<\/p>\n
my eyes at Kibbutz Nir Oz \u2013<\/p>\n
in our Uncle Meir\u2019s home,<\/p>\n
the coffee, yeast cake, cigars, and whisky,<\/p>\n
the welder of copper birds and our blood.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your camera ambled like a kibbutz dog<\/p>\n
rising from its rest to greet a guest,<\/p>\n
a rainbow fan in the desert,<\/p>\n
June action:<\/p>\n
two millimeters of rain<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
a video with a caption:<\/p>\n
A very misty morning. You can hear<\/p>\n
the heavy dew fall<\/p>\n
and the light, easy birdsong.<\/p>\n
Why did I wake up so early (September 29, 2023).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You were murdered in a mini-Auschwitz<\/p>\n
in the northern Negev,<\/p>\n
in your home, your castle you loved<\/p>\n
with a bit of Jewish black humor:<\/p>\n
A jubilant burnt sacrifice<\/p>\n
on the Festival of Rejoicing in the Law,<\/p>\n
punning on mercy in your last post.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You look surprised that a poem<\/p>\n
was written about you. Know:<\/p>\n
In the world to come,<\/p>\n
you\u2018ll never walk alone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
