the laughing heart

by charles bukowski

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.

      meir ærlig. frå no av.
     i eventyr sprekk troll i sola.

     mitt liv, mine muligheter.
     mitt liv, mine troll.
   
     eg vil kvar dag minne meg sjølv på å sleppe sola inn i hjartet mitt.
     eg vil velge å gi slipp.
     eg vil velge å ta i mot.

     for livet er vakkert,
     uslipt og røft.
   
     aksept og takknemlighet.
     muligheter.

     frå no av.
