poetic pause…
“The smell of ink is intoxicating to me — others may have wine,
but I have poetry.”

“If You Were” by L. K. Thayer
If you were air I would breathe you
If you were a bed I would make you
If you were lost I would find you
If you were wine I would drink you
If you were a plane I would fly you
If you were an orange I would squeeze you
If you were invisible I would see you
If you were golden I’d retrieve you
If you were imprisoned I would free you
If you were mine I’d never leave you

Charles Bukowski
“We drank, drugged, stayed in the center of the rug, through sunset,
sunrise, played Scrabble for 8 or ten hours each time I went in to piss
she stole the letters she needed she was a survivor, the bitch.”
– from his poem “The Great Lover”
