The Dead
by Billy Colins

The dead are always looking down on us,
they say,

while we are putting on our shoes
or making a sandwich,
they are looking down
through the glass bottomed boats of heaven
as they row themselves slowly
through enternity.

They watch the tops of our heads
moving below on earth
and when we lie down
in a field
or on a couch,
drugged perhaps
by the hum of a warm afternoon,

they think we are looking back at them,
which makes them lift thier oars
and fall silent and wait,
like parents,
for us to close our eyes.
