Sorry for my Slumber!

While the posting the amazing literary works of C.H Bukowski is a pleasurable hobby, it can also be a bit time consuming. Especially while working on our full feature site, http://charlesbukowskiquotes.com.

That being said, I've fallen off the wagon and sincerely apologize! Now that I'm back from my normal full time job, I'll be posting a lot more :).

Thanks for your patience!

As the Sparrow by Charles Bukowski

To give life you must take life, and as our grief falls flat and hollow upon the billion-blooded sea I pass upon serious inward-breaking shoals rimmed with white-legged, white-bellied rotting creatures lengthily dead and rioting against surrounding scenes. Dear child, I only did to you what the sparrow did to you; I am old when it is fashionable to be young; I cry when it is fashionable to laugh. I hated you when it would have taken less courage to love.
