Bukowski

Inspiration:

All I know is this: the ravens kiss my mouth,
the veins are tangled here,
the sea is made of blood.
 
All I know is this: the hands reaching out,
my eyes are closed,
my ears are closed,
the sky rejects my scream.

All I know is this: my nostrils drip with dreams
the hounds lap us up,
the fools laugh out,
the clock ticks out the dead.
 
All I know is this: my feet are sorrow here,
my words are less than lilies,
my words are clotted now:
the ravens kiss my mouth.

Quoth The Raven

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
“Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!”
                                                                                         Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore.”

I Love....

Its main root is a Latin word for "turn." One thing that doesn't change is its spelling, so it pays to note the single c and double ss "This also gives you a jump on the delightfully erudite related adjective : vicissitudinous.]
