hearts on sleeves (blood-red & honey-sweet)

Good Poetry makes
The universe
Admit a secret:

"I am really just
A tambourine,
Grab hold,
Play me against
Your warm
thigh."

“For Jane” By Charles Bukowski


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.
