Born in 1920, Bukowski's work is characterized by its raw, honest portrayal of , alcohol, and other vices, as well as its vivid depictions of the seedy side of urban life.

A perfect narrative. Who wants what from this relationship is anybody's guess.

It's hard to describe this poem - dramatic? Kind of reminded me of Robert Browning's Porphyria's Lover - the famous dramatic monologue!

I want you to buy me some high-heeled shoes with tall thin spikes, black high-heeled shoes. no, I want them red... very fine poem. tony

I watch her walk down.... ...... Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Beautiful poem. An unexpected ending that a great poet can give. Loved it.

I watch her walk down the cement walk under the trees she walks all right and as the pointsettas drip in the sun I close the door.....so touching and impressive. A beautiful poem so nicely executed.

beautiful image- I sit on the couch watching her arrange her long red hair before my bedroom mirror. she pulls her hair up and piles it on top of her head- she lets her eyes look at my eyes-

Such a great poem by Charles Bukowski.......................

Who has endured these sorts of endings that never end can understand this poem. I like it!
