Her Last Words

With her last words said
And my last deeds done,
I lay her head upon the down
And bowed my own.
Her last thready breath
brought not a moan;
So many spent
So long passing all alone.

Her last words?:
"Help me, help me."

My last deeds?:
A pillow case for satin shroud,
The Ode to Joy for parting knell,
Candles burning off her light.

For me?
The Question Mark we all know well.
