And The Moon And The Stars And The World
Long walks at night–
that’s what good for the soul:
peeking into windows
watching tired housewives
trying to fight off
their beer-maddened husbands.
Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) was an American poet and novelist known for his gritty, raw writing style and unflinching portrayals of life on the margins. He wrote numerous volumes of poetry, including "Love is a Dog From Hell" and "The Last Night of the Earth Poems," and his novels, such as "Post Office" and "Women," have become cult classics.
