It is so beautiful to have no attachments!
I am solitary as grass. What is it I miss?
Shall I ever find it, whatever it is?

I wait and ache.

For Jane

225 days under grass
and you know more than I.
They have long taken your blood,
you are a dry stick in a basket.
is this how it works?
In this room
the hours of love
still make shadows.

When you left
you took almost
everything.
I kneel in the nights
before tigers
that will not let me be.

What you were
will not happen again.
The tigers have found me
and I do not care.

~ Charles Bukowski
