Sleeping with Bukowski

I tried
Oh
How I have tried

Doggedly digging for treasure
Pages turned one after the other
Still not a single one turned down in delight

Left him exposed
face down and open
in that vulnerable spot next
to the commode
But it just feels empty shite to me
A voiceless voice fueled by
drunkenness and misogyny

I hunt
desperate
maybe too desperate
to find what others rave on

In a last ditch
I take to sleeping with him
Call him Chuck
but still only find empty air
when I reach for him
