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 Dave Austin

So different Dave, I like the way you insinuate the departure of someone dear. It sure is hard to lose someone you cared about and you did it with style! Luv, Lizzie

A powerful tribute to your friend, Daver! I'm sure he's gone to meet many friends "who waited just outside". You've given a happy twist to this somewhat sad poem. Makes me feel very pensive! Best wishes, Love, Mikki
