Dia de los Muertos

On this day of all days,
this Dia de los Muertos,
a coincident.
Not a dream, I was wide awake.
Hallucination, apparition, vision?
Spawned by pain and/or medication?
Perhaps. Whatever.
But though dead for many years,
he was for moments
as real as you are
at my side
and made me smile.
