Eaten Up By Nothing

whatacircus

We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.

– Charles Bukowski, The Captain is Out to Lunch & the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship

No Help For That

there is a place in the heart that

will never be filled

a space

and even during the
best moments
and
the greatest
times

we will know it

we will know it
more than
ever

there is a place in the heart that
will never be filled

and

we will wait
and
wait

in that
space.

– Charles Bukowski
