Play On Bukowski--,For Linda King's Buk Sculpture

-                                                         you dirt dog                                You dirt dog
                                                    grimy as they get
                                                   Heiny in each hand
                                                  one from the ice box
                                                 other from the brothel
                                                    Slouching slurring
                                                    so clear you speak
                                         filtered through the old typewriter
                                        your "Baldwin" or your "Steinway"
                                           Love really is a dog from hell
                                         Play it again "Chopin Bukowski"
                                          Your poetic piano masterpiece!

Smile ~ H* Joey, first I wish to "Thank You," for stopping by and leaving such a sweet and delicious com upon Amber Sighs. Second, I love the intensity that you so magically brush upon this wonderous self expression of ones interpretations and thoughts ~ Love, booze, sex, drugs and rock-n-roll; strike up the band and hit the high notes, "BRAVO." ~ "Love, 'Always,'" John!:) ~

Wow! That is really a very good likeness of Bukowski. Linda King is quite a sculptress. Love, Carolyn

Interesting poem, James. I hate to think of love as a "dirty dog from hell," but I haven't seen Linda King's sculpture. Maybe you could provide a link here on the poem so people could understand it better. Love and blessings, Carolyn
