Dead's Valentine

How much the dead could teach us
if we would only let them in
if we could only get over the fear
of the oddness at first getting used
to a different location of sight
and hearing under a clearer light
like flicking on and off the light
in a room full of hungry strangers
we walk past stepping over the threshold
proving the unreality of death
boogieman death the devil’s coldest
most decisive trick and cleverest
half-truth for the body does die
but the spirit is lifted up
