love letter to hank


if i were to have a love affair
with bukowski
i would have to call myself
"woman"

& he would devote himself
to my empty beer bottles & dirty underwear.

somewhere between my palms
& the dawn
a filthy child would be born

whose little limbs
would cast shadows of guilt and apathy
across our stale sheets.

all night long
sex & death
would ring out from our bed

& in the morning

my skin soaked with words

he would whisper flaty to the back of my head

get the hell out of my house.

i had no idea you wrote poetry. how strange that these things come about through impersonal means. and its good poetry too.

you also put the housewarming i've been storing all my warmth for on the weekend when i am out of town. eh. i'm going to have to start dropping in uninvited.
