seeking the context

[nasus nesnetsirhc]

I want to read the Bukowski poem in which the phase "...the mocking bird and the butcher knife" appears - ever hear of it?

there's a guy here named hank solo who will know. i don't know if he'll read this forum, though, so you may want to re-post this in the "all things bukowski" forum.

Poem is called "no title". See "what matters most is how well you walk through the fire", page 65.



Or, if you like smokey voiced Norwegians, try listening to "I Wish To Weep"...

;)
