the laughing heart

Your life is your life
Don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
Be on the watch.
There are ways out.
There is a light somewhere.
It may not be much light but
It beats the darkness.
Be on the watch.
The gods will offer you chances.
Know them.
Take them.
You can’t beat death but
You can beat death in life, sometimes.
And the more often you learn to do it,
The more light there will be.
Your life is your life.
Know it while you have it.
You are marvelous
The gods wait to delight
In you.

pazar akşamları dinamo'da the patchwork her seferinde kalbimden vurmayı biliyor beni. behzat ç'nin bile önüne geçtiği oldu kimi zaman. son haftaki soliloquy playlist'inin girişinde tom waits, bukowski'nin "the laughing heart" adlı şiirini okuyor.


soliloquy: A soliloquy is a device often used in drama whereby a character relates his or her thoughts and feelings to him/herself and to the audience without addressing any of the other characters, and is delivered often when they are alone or think they are alone. (via wikipedia)
