Charles Bukowski

[JTParreira]

The bottom of the bottle
of Gin increases
the collapse of the things

The eyes disappear inside
the hands in good bye form
From bottom of the bottle

we will see one
stiff white
body

[Pendragon]

For Charlie

To this poet and poem
we are wondering if
You are giving the long-overdue pean

Of one who could sell
at age twenty-four
Aftermath of a Lengthy Rejection Slip?

that's what you call
a momentous start
razor-sharp dagger in the editor's heart!
