Which book is this from?

It can be found in either The Flash of Lightning Behind the Mountain or The Pleasures of the Damned (page 177).

The title of the poem is "For Jane", though I don't know which book it as published on.

i think 'For Jane' is this one:

FOR JANE BY CHARLES BUKOWSKI

225 days under grass
and you know more than I.
they have long taken your blood,
you are a dry stick in a basket.
is this how it works?
in this room
the hours of love
still make shadows.

when you left
you took almost
everything.
I kneel in the nights
before tigers
that will not let me be.

what you were
will not happen again.
the tigers have found me
and I do not care.

Yes, you are right. I am very sorry for the incorrect correction. Sometimes (as this ones) I am a bit stupid.
