Sixteen Lines for Deborah Kerr

I woke up this morning
to a world without
Deborah Kerr,
among people who didn't
know who she was:

Who will blame me now
if I lend my voice
to a louder and louder
lament for the death of
grace and elegance?

Whenever I feel afraid,
I hold my head up high,
and run like a
startled deer - and
everybody knows
I'm afraid.
