A little Sunday Bukowski Poem



I like it... Bukowski has a knack for making his point in such a way that I have to read it twice.... he always makes me think outside of my yoga bubble. Thanks Charles! Enjoy..

Side of the Sun

the bulls are grand as the side of the sun
and although they kill them for the stale crowds,
it is the bull that burns the fire,
and although there are cowardly men,
generally the bull stands pure
and dies pure
untouched by symbols or cliques or false loves,
and when they drag him out
nothing has died
something has passed
and the eventual stench
is the world.

- Charles Bukowski as written in 'Burning in Water Drowning in Flame'
