Smile in the Dark

the pleasures of the damned by charles bukowski

the pleasures of the damnedare limited to brief momentsof happiness:like the eyes in the look of a dog,like a square of wax,like a fire taking the city hall,the county,the continent,like fire taking the hairof maidens and monsters;and hawks buzzing in peach trees,the sea running between their claws,Timedrunk and damp,everything burning,everything wet,everything fine.
