225 days under grass

and you know more than I.

they have long taken your blood,

you are a dry stick in a basket.

is this how it works?

in this room

the hours of love

still make shadows.

when you left

you took almost

everything.

I kneel in the nights

before tigers

that will not let me be.

what you were
will not happen again.
the tigers have found me
and I do not care.

~ Charles Bukowski

“There’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out 
but I’m too tough for him, 
I say, stay in there, I’m not going to let anybody see you”

~ Charles Bukowski
