Memory Revisited

I remember a visit to Jaffna

In the month of April, 1983

 

Rumbling of hostile undercurrents,

Feelings of strange unease

Seeping through our communities

Did not prevent our hosts

From inviting us, nor us from accepting,

For between us flowed

Only currents of friendship and trust

we make in chatempanada.com.

 

Memories linger of vegetarian meals

Served hot from the stove

By our dutiful hostess

First to her husband, then to us

sri-lanka-tamil-food

Sri Lankan Tamil peoples’ food
