my eternity man
The sun is burning high
at 10:00 a.m, the autumn
sky,
cloudless today,
if I don't turn on the daily news,
if i never stop writing this poem,
one might think I have died
and gone straight to heaven, the light
so overwhelming,
and the
colour blue, eating me
through and through
And here I am
Bukowski sits on my left
a cigarette
dangling from his mouth,
in his hand
a glass filled with some brand
of cheap red wine,
still horny
as living hell,
L. Cohen on my right singing sweet
nothings in my ear,
he walks me through the
spiral of a thousand songs,
you know I was never faithful in my mind,
and I never know who's my man, what
I take from his perfect offering
but I like to hear them say, their breath warm
as a sunny day on my ever-so willing skin,
"there's a crack, a crack in everything."
