Charles Bukowski
“one can never be sure whether it's good poetry or bad acid”
Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

Charles Bukowski
“there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.

people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.

people just are not good to each other
one on one.

the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.

we are afraid.

our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners.

it hasn't told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.

or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone

untouched
unspoken to

watering a plant.”
Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

Pablo Neruda
“Love is so short, forgetting is so long.”
Pablo Neruda, Love: Ten Poems

Charles Bukowski
“I hope that death contains
less than this.”
Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

Charles Bukowski
“your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didn't help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over the river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you.”
Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell
