Can the dead see their tombstones?
Do they look up through the miry clay
And see the marble and granite
above where they lay?
Does the stone hold them down,
or is just the calm or turmoil or torment
that keeps them in the ground?
Do they know where they lay?
Can they feel?
Is anything real to them?
We'll all know the answers soon enough
but maybe we'll forget the questions
Hopefully they won't matter.
