Escape

«the best part was
pulling down the
shades
stuffing the doorbell
with rags
putting the phone
in the
refrigerator
and going to bed
for 3 or 4
days.

and the next best
part
was
nobody ever
missed
me.»

Charles Bukowski, in You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

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.»
