Authors: Charles Bukowski
Poems 1974-1977
to Carl Weissner
ONE
Sandra
you
the 6 foot goddess
I’ve seen too many glazed-eyed bums
sexpot
sweet music
numb your ass and your brain and your heart—
one of the hottest
ashes
fuck
me
another bed
trapped
tonight
the escape
the drill
texan
the spider
the end of a short affair
moaning and groaning
an almost made up poem
blue cheese and chili peppers
problems about the other woman
T.M.
Bee’s 5th
103 degrees
pacific telephone
225 pounds
turnabout
one for old snaggle-tooth
communion
trying to get even:
Chicago
quiet clean girls in gingham dresses…
we will taste the islands and the sea
TWO
this poet
winter
what they want
Iron Mike
guru
the professors
for Al—
how to be a great writer
the price
alone with everybody
the 2nd novel
Chopin Bukowski
gloomy lady
cockroach
who in the hell is Tom Jones?
defeat
traffic signals

photographs
social
one to the breastplate
the worst and the best
coupons
luck
dog
trench warfare
the night I fucked my alarm clock
when I think of myself dead
Christmas eve, alone
there once was a woman who put her head into an oven
beds, toilets, you and me—
this then—
imagination and reality
stolen
the meek have inherited
the insane always loved me
Big Max
it’s the way you play the game
on the continent
12:18 a.m.
yellow cab
how come you’re not unlisted?
weather report
clean old man
something
a plate glass window
junkies
99 to one
the crunch
a horse with greenblue eyes
THREE
Scarlet
red up and down
like a flower in the rain
light brown
huge ear rings
she came out of the bathroom
a killer
longshot
the promise
waving and waving goodbye
liberty
don’t touch the girls
dark shades
prayer in bad weather
melancholia
a stethoscope case
eat your heart out
the retreat
I made a mistake
FOUR
girls in pantyhose
up your yellow river
