High Ceilings

When he thought about
Death, and whatever may follow,
The first question that he had,
Always, was "Well, does it have high ceilings?"

Every time, I could only ever look
At him and say, "I hope, I really do."

I don't know where he is now.
But...
Wherever he has gone,
I hope, I really do, that the place
Has ceilings up in the heavens.
