“I pick up the skirt,
I pick up the sparkling beads
in black,
this thing that moved once
around flesh,
and I call god a liar,
I say anything that moved
like that
or knew my name
could never die
in the common verity of dying,
and I pick
up her lovely 
dress,
all her loveliness gone,
and I speak
to all the gods,
Jewish gods, Christ-gods,
chips of blinking things,
idols, pills, bread,
fathoms, risks,
knowledgeable surrender,
rats in the gravy of 2 gone quite mad
without a chance,
hummingbird knowledge, hummingbird chance,
I lean upon this, 
I lean on all of this
and I know:
her dress upon my arm:
but
they will not
give her back to me.”
Charles Bukowski, “For Jane: With all the love I had, which was not enough”
