¿cómo entraste por mi ventana?

pájaro ciego

¿cómo entraste por mi ventana?

yo sé que tú piensas

que puedo salvarte

de ese amor que te hace llorar por las noches;

pero mis besos ya no curarán tus heridas

Rolando's golden secrets

this girl,

she has a golden fish

living inside her head

and his name is Rolando;

sometimes

he whispers little secrets to her,

sweet secrets

lonely secrets

lovely secrets;

but she says:

"all i hear is,

plop! plop! plop!"

Sucking too hard on your lollipop
Or love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love
Or love's gonna get you down

Mama told me what I should know
Too much candy gonna rot your soul
If she loves you, let her go
'Cause love only gets you down

(Lollipop, Mika)

bluebird

there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see
you.

there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he’s
in there.

there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?

there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody’s asleep.
I say, I know that you’re there,
so don’t be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he’s singing a little
in there, I haven’t quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it’s nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don’t
weep, do

you?

Charles Bukowski
