Hello Dead People

Hello,
dead people
who are now where
we all will go.

You don’t need
luck, I suspect, though
I’m sure it’s different there
from here;

you probably don’t need
anything
needed on this side
to get by there.

When we think of you there,
we have to cast that
in our terms
because we have no others
that fit;

so I’ll say it:
good luck.
Good luck,
though it took no luck to get there
and what it takes to be there
is, apparently,

not for us to know.
