breathing bukowski
by dirk velvet
he used the smallest words
he could find
to
tell his
tales
he knew that
the large ones
could get
stuck
going in
and
never
come
out
he knew
what we all
needed
to live
to
breathe
in
and
out
…”breathing bukowski” by dirk velvet will appear in the Silver Birch Press Bukowski Anthology, available in August 2013
