A last sigh
will come
a last breath
will pass
your lips.
The last words
are always
those remembered
And they are never
of the world.
Of the Father, maybe
of the Wife and Child, yes
Of Parents
and Grandparents
no doubt
The last words
come out
of lips that move
too silent
to hear.
A last breath
expresses
a spiritual need
A last tear
absolves the world
you leave.
