Elegy
By Carl Kopman

If I am so lucky
as to remember those friends
Upon whose dreams I feasted
Whose photographs I carry
still (alive) dancing in those silly
broken piano poems I wrote
Of needle bent heroes
And babies born in teepees
On full moon Cat Mother nights
Oh Mendocino,
Oh Hippie Love,
Oh Ghosts of another life
If I am the one
to toll the bell
In the mist beyond our journey
I’ll sing farewell
I’ll remember ye well
From the time of our beginning….

Beautiful poems, Carl, both the older one (accompanied by a great photo), and what is obviously one that is somewhat more recent. I hope you will keep writing. Your poems make a difference to us.
