My father died in November 2009. The following three haikus span the time just before his death to now. The first one encapsulates what I consider to be his last significant words - to me at least."Moving on".
Nutshell words
from a mind still aware
though the body fails.

A parentless year:
We're the oldest now -
in new clothes which are too big.

Rueful, I muse on
questions I didn't ask,
phone calls i can't make
now.
