From the Room
TO DON CARLSON - MY ROOM DWELLING FRIEND- IN MEMORIUM
So it's to say as much as everyone
eventually
finds a room to live in
(my friend perhaps sooner than others)
When he walked out though
out on the town
with generous courage
confused a willing joy
When he met our eyes
out on the town
with his runaway own
waiting to share room
I was sorry then
sorry now
Not remorseful then
not now
but hoping hoping he had a friend in his room
So gone running to meet a friend
(a great throng of friends to my mind)
who waited just outside
