National Poetry Month -- Woman on the Street

Chris S. thinks that Charles Bukowski wrote sad and hilarious poetry for the lower class, for the broke and depressed, for the drunk and lonely.

"Woman on the Street"

her shoes themselves
would light my room
like many candles.

she walks like all things
shining on glass,
like all things
that make a difference.

she walks away.

This poem can be found in Pleasures of the Damned, published by Harper Collins in 2007.
