  • Bluebird
    Charles Bukowski
    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 pur whiskey on him and inhale
    cigarette smoke
    and the whores and the bartenders
    and the grocery clerks
    never know that
    he's
    in there.
    there's a bluebird in my heart that
    wants to get out
    but I'm too tough for him,
    I say,
    stay down, do you want to mess
    me up?
    you want to screw up the
    works?
    you want to blow my book sales in
    Europe?
    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
    and we sleep together like
    that
    with our
    secret pact
    and it's nice enough to
    make a man
    weep, but I don't
    weep, do
    you?

    We all have a bluebird in our heart. Some can show it, and some can't. Some deny it. Some fight it.
    Life is about emotions. Why do we run from them.
    We are all scared.

    Bukowski visited me in the morning today
    As always ,he was blabbering about himself
    As to how hard it was for him to be Bukowski
    How hard it was for him to keep living in this "disgusting world"
    As per his routine,
    I think he was busy drinking all night
    He hasn't got any sleep
    He had a bluebird with him
    And said something about going to visit an old place
    He was worried about his bluebird
    He left the caged bird on my table
    I offered him coffee
    But he left in a hurry
    Now, A bluebird lives with me.

    Without any spoken words, the use of powerful images only is a really challenging creative
    restriction for a poetry-
    based short movie... u did a great job! Love this animation, this is maybe my fav poem among all of buk works...i feel every word, in the deep..

    There's an Indonesian singer and songwriter called Pamungkas. He has just released a new album with its song called Birdy. The lyrics are VERY similar to BlueBird by Charles Bukowski. The thing is, Pamungkas says his song is his own idea.

    Doing this now with a mirror, sublinal, and beautiful bluebird and silver paper framing the poem by flowers for the beauty in the words and feelings shared. The words on simple. White paper, bird in the middle and the poem written in just a verse for my frame was too small
    Never give in.

    Ne kadar bu benlikten nefret etsede bunu kimseye anlatmayacak tamamen ölmesinede izin vermeyecek.

    When Charles died he gave it to me.
    When I die, I win give it to you.
    Take care of my BLUEBIRD.

    Amazing. The bluebird is a beauty! :3 But in "Bluebird" didn't Bukowski state that grocers and outsiders in general aren't aware of the bluebird? So why is it so apparent to the bar tender? Unless that part is to be taken like even though it should be apparent to the bartender, he still doesn't see it?
