You Can Write

"Writing is like getting married.  One should never commit oneself
until one is amazed at one's luck." - Iris Murdoch

You Can Write
copyright @aladreth

You can write whatever you like ...
You can write what loves you,
what presents your dizziness
          and naivete,
your agora knowledge of erotic prison beds

You can write come late afternoon
church bells, jam jars and wild cherry bush,
flickering bees in limousines

You can write naked up against the alley wall
green glitter nail polish
and open cuts

You can write a prescription
for almond flavoured arsenic mixed well in Mint Julep
and grilled nopales in New Mexico
in a nearly full moon with power tools
          and motion sensors

You can write a paradise's morning fog,
disobedient slipping floorboards
and Vanitas, baby, Vanitas.

You can write a wink, a singing flood,
the first bird in to the world,
All your charms and wits tiptoeing by

You can write the last falling jewelry piece
in a Zen built house with brass telescope
You can write curiosity shoppes and red carpets,
Columbines, Stamens, boxes of babies, poet sculptures

You can write one more tequila,
tossed pair of panties,
an opening within an opening,
four pink bunnies riding shot gun in a
Big Rig with vibrating plaid thermos mugs

You can write a Woman in
           to a tree,
You can write Bob Dylan songs,
You can write me ...
