Bluebird


 There's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
Then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact... - 
 
from "Blue Bird" by Charles Bukowski
Iwasaki Eri (b.1968) - Blue bird
