I’ll let her do that
and I’ll do this,
I no longer want it all,
just some comfort
and some sex
and only a minor
love.
Charles Bukowski, This Then
I’ll let her do that
and I’ll do this,
I no longer want it all,
just some comfort
and some sex
and only a minor
love.
I’ll let her do that
and I’ll do this,
I no longer want it all,
just some comfort
and some sex
and only a minor
love.
… and we are in bed together
laughing
and we don’t care
about anything …
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.
I will remember the kisses, our lips raw with love,
and how you gave me everything you had
and how I offered you what was left of me.
I’ve had so many knives stuck into me, when they hand me a flower I can’t quite make out what it is. It takes time.
