A writer
is someone with an old soul,
a young heart,
and a timeless mind.

Charles Bukowski
when Whitman wrote, "I sing the body electric"

I know what he
meant
I know what he
wanted:

to be completely alive every moment
in spite of the inevitable.

we can't cheat death but we can make it
work so hard
that when it does take
us

it will have known a victory just as
perfect as
ours.

from my bed
I watch
3 birds
on a telephone
wire.

one flies
off.
then
another.

one is left,
then
it too
is gone.

my typewriter is
tombstone
still.

and I am
reduced to bird
watching.

just thought I'd
let you
know,
******.

there she goes again
just like the song
with a fractured heart
taking more and more time to heal
every single step of the way
back to the woman she once used to be.

I am to blame,
in part,
for not being there for her
when she needed me the most
and this is what guilt tastes like;

Awfully bitter, in pure distaste.

I can't save You from yourself, sweetie,
but I forgive You for the both of us,
and I know how it feels
to not be strong enough to forgive myself.

What has become of us?
I'm sorry, my Love.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
