Well said. Should I add this one? I'm doing it. Not sure if is a quote.

To live on in books is never to die.

I raise my glass to Charles Bukowski, "Hank".
I raise my spoon full of cough sirup (I'm ill

) to Hank.
Carry on resting in peace, man.
In that special day, I have started The days run away like wild horses over the hills to feel as close of him as possible

Is the guy on Roni's second photo Sean Penn ?



(and happy 50th birthday Barbie, you slut)

I have my wine. My friend is going to email me most of one of his audio CDs tonight so that I can listen. Then I may cap it all off with a viewing of Barfly.

TO HANK!

I've been reading Buk Scene 1 all day. tonight I'm going to watch The Bukowski Tapes. I have beer and wine. when I go to sleep tonight, I'll put on one of his cds.

thoughts are with Marina and Linda, and with all of us.

...and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?

roni, excellent pics. thank you.

well, normally I wouldn't do this, but as I was watching The Bukowski Tapes, I wrote a poem for Buk on a real estate flyer that was in my mailbox. it's here. fair warning, I am drunk. and I was drunk when I wrote it. so, it sucks. but it's honest.

(EDIT: in the harsh light of sobriety I saw how maudlin it was and removed it. well intentioned, but not very good ;) )

Those are some very nice and epic pics!

Not to sound too morbid, but are there any open-casket pics of Buk?
 
DUDE!:mad:Not too cool.Even IF there were, which I seriously doubt! They would be for the Family and not public posting! Shit. Get a grip, how fucking morbid can you get?

I get what you're saying, but you do realize that open casket pics of famous fiqures have been made availible in the past, right?
 
Yes. I do realize...But you coming in here and asking that question is akin to you walking into the front 'parlour' and saying, "Hey Man-let's open this shit up". Total disrespect-
IMO.

He loved Buddhist monks. Couldn't get enough of them. He kept a couple around the house so he could hear them chant all the time.

I'm surprised you didn't know that.

Not to sound too morbid ?
When inquiring about casket photos ?
OPEN casket photos, even ?

Why don't you think twice before creeping everyone the fuck out.

I posted the poem somewhere else but it belongs in this thread.
Enjoy your wine or cup of tea today.
Cheers, y'all.


poet dies
and nobody give a damn

he was one of us,
one of the best among us,
and we mark his passing.

garlands for the grave of Charles Bukowski

will romantics lay roses on his tomb like they do in Paris
for Jim Morrisson?

or spray paint tokens of their love
their admiration,
their adulation
across his granite
headstone?

this is for me. these are my roses. he's
dead and can't smell them
where he is now

and forever.
