bukowski’s widow (spoken word) - jewel lyrics

[intro]
“bukowski’s widow”

[verse]
my prince has slipped and his face has turned to shadow
his tongue no longer strong but gray, how sad
it used to be so full of spit and roses
my prince, the stars have fallen from your crown
and i cannot fathom their fading
some things should be forever
you’ve taken your coal and your seaward gaze
you’ve taken your will and your weakness and left
you’ve left me with nothing but words to keep me warm
but i don’t want them, take them back
i want paris, i want you drunk on wine
i want to talk with you and hold you up and giggle and kiss
god, how i miss your smile and thick skin
at night, do you remember, how i’d worry
and you’d press me tight against you?
extinguishing the red flame of my head against your shoulder
smooth as chalk dust, you’d laugh in the face of death and uncertainty
do you remember?
you’d say time knew nothing
well, now you’re gone, and time is all i have left
