Digtet Love fra Bukowskis samling Burning in Water Drowning in Flame. Det digt kan jeg rigtig godt lide, ja, jeg kan så, og se selv hvorfor:

love, he said, gas kiss me off kiss my lips kiss my hair my fingers my eyes my brain make me forget love, he said, gas he had a room on the 3rd floor, rejected by a dozen women 35 editors and half a dozen hiring agencies now I’m not saying he was any good he turned on all the jets without lighting them and went to bed some hours later a guy on his way to room 309 lit a cigar in the hall and a sofa flew out the window one wall shivered down like wet sand a purple flame waved 40 feet high in the air the guy in bed didn’t know or care but I’d have to say he was pretty good that day.
