Help with choosing a poem (1 Viewer)

[Milla]

If you had to say good bye to a friend, which one of Buk's poems would you use to say good bye?

Say you haven't parted amicably with your friend, but you still feel a lot of warmth and love for him. He has been one of the most important people in your life, for good and for bad, but ideologically you two have been growing far apart, so far apart you don't recognise him anymore.

Has anyone got a suggestion for me?


Edit: hm, I have just realised I should have written this post in the 'Bukowski Help' section of the forum.
Boss of the forum, please move it over there if you think it is more appropriate.

Okay, Milla. Moved, as per your request.

As to the poem...
If you can afford to buy this person a book, I would recommend:

Sifting through the Madness for the word, the line, the way

Then include a little hand written note remembering the good times.

Thank you Father Luke for the suggestion.
