Bukowski No one appreciates women like Bukowski appreciates women Whisky legs flow from darling high asses Touch-me-not hair Breasts beautiful, Eclipsing Breathtaking moons Some are kind, all are foolish They want him, the poet Sad and tragic They fuck him for poetry’s sake To be fucked by poetry They want to harness that ugly comet Own his light and blunt fire No one depreciates women like Bukowski depreciates women Long blonde legs, stumbling drunk Screaming love curses hatefully Long silk hair waving goodbye Another cold woman putting her hand in fire To steal his flame I’ve never hated myself enough to fuck Bukowski. © Hazel Dodge—2003 |
