UNPUBLISHED CHARLES BUKOWSKI ~







Ecco Press

Oh, forgive me For Whom the Bells Tolls,

oh, forgive me Man who walked on water,

oh, forgive me little old woman who lived in a show,

oh, forgive me the mountain that roared at midnight,

oh, forgive me the dumb sounds of night and day and death,

oh, forgive me all the sunken ships and defeated armies,

this is my first FAX POEM.

It's too late:

I have been

smitten.

CHARLES BUKOWSKI
Storm for the Living and the Dead
edited by Abel Debritoo


Debritoo claims, "February 18, 1994 manuscript; previously uncollected. In all likelihood,
this is the last poem Bukowski ever wrote."
