Poets

[Jyqm]

A little something from Charles Bukowski, in anticipation of the State of the Union address in a few hours:

i knew that i was dying.
something in me said, go ahead, die, sleep, become
them, accept.
then something else in me said, no, save the tiniest
bit.
it needn't be much, just a spark.
a spark can set a whole forest on
fire.
just a spark.
save it.
