the poems of what matters most is how well you walk through the fire were written between 1970 and 1990 and are part of an archive that Charles Bukowski left to be published after his death.

you do it while you´re killing flies

Bach, I said, he had 20 children.

he played the horses during the day.

he fucked at night

and drank in the mornings.

he wrote music in between.

at least that´s what I told her

when she asked me,

when do you do your

writing?
