I mistakenly thought the departed

could have nothing more to say, but I was wrong.

For me, the dead do make a commotion.

I hear them all the time in discussions

I have with them about things left unsaid

when they were here, with you and I.

Do you talk with them too? I wonder

if you’ll share what they say to you.

We’ve no reason to keep this to ourselves now.

I just want to listen to all they were.
