The strangest rebirth

I was invited once,
To the strangest event. 
On the last day of the year,
One with a long painful end.

A long time friend,
Told me of his gathering, 
With more high school mates. 
I can join them, he said.

We made mayonnaise 
And canapés 
In small hand-crafted plates. 
All four happy to be single, 
As I was once again, 
With gellow shots and music
In a small appartement.
We had all we needed
To burn the past away. 

Writen on small
pieces of parchment
Collected on a metal bucket
Light up with a wooden match
And ashed slow under our watch. 

It was weird. 
It was healing. 
As a Fenix brought within
A room of nurturing,
Absolutely bewitching. 

I haven't had the chance, 
To see them together since. 

Thank you David. 
By lending me your friends, 
You have made more for me
Than all of mine tried.
