Visitors

...inspired by 'The New Faces' by W.B. Yeats





We dead shall walk the hallways unopposed,

and lend an air of mystery to paint 

and plaster peeling, thus exposed

when daylight turns to dusk; for there's a faint

uneasiness as new ones gather, pested

to hear our ghostly whisperings and may

have second thoughts, their courage tested;

were we not bolder occupants than they?
