collection of poems

the killer

consistency is terrific

shark-mouth

grubby interior with an

almost perfect body,

long blazing hair—it confuses me

and others

she runs from man to man

offering endearments

she speaks of love

then breaks each man

to her will

shark-mouthed

grubby interior

we see it too late:

after the cock gets swallowed

the heart follows

her long blazing hair

her almost perfect body

walks down the street

as the same sun

falls upon flowers.

-Charles Bukoswki
