immortal dead

"oh, may i join the choir invisible

of those immortal dead who live again."

there's a bluebird in my heart

"there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but i'm too tough for him,

i say, stay in there, i'm not going

to let anybody see

you...

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but i'm too clever, i only let him out

at night sometimes

when everybody's asleep.

i say, i know that you're there,

so don't be

sad.

then i put him back,

but he's singing a little

in there, i haven't quite let him

die...

-charles bukowski
