Dead Men

Dead men talk to me
sometimes, always
They have framed their smiles
Neither wide, nor short, measured
They have devised unique routes
of dialogue, uniquely monotonous
They look at me, but they look beyond
making me turn, only to sense their eyes on my back
Bemused, I try to take my own route
But they are everywhere, eager to talk n see
Dead men, talk to me with a framed smile
sometimes, always
