BUKOWSKI

Aqui les dejo un poema que habla mucho de lo que era el gran Bukowski. En el título está el link a su web, bukowski.net Echenle un ojo, trae muchas cosas muy buenas.
Entrevistas, poemas, textos, etc. Ah y la foto inicial es genial.

Y todos ustedes, por qué tan callados ultimamente?

Gracias a N2 por sus comentarios de la bailarina, yo nomás no logro verla girar pal otro lao!!!




congrats, Chinaski

as I near 70
I get letters, cards, little gifts
from strange people.
congratulations, they tell
me,
congratulations

I know what they mean:
the way I have lived
I should have been dead in half
that time

I have piled myself with a mass of
grand abuse, been
careless toward myself
almost to the point of
madness,
I am still here
leaning toward this machine
in this smoke-filled room,
this large blue trashcan to my
left
full of empty
containers

the doctors have no answers
and the gods are
silent

congratulations, death,
on your patience.
I have helped you all that
I can

now one more poem
and a walk out on the balcony,
such a fine night there

I am dressed in shorts and stockings,
gently scratch my old
belly,
look out there
look off there
where dark meets dark

it's been one hell of a crazy
ballgame
