What I'd Write About if I Could
About love. I'd write about love if I could
if I had my choice of subject matter
of course I do there are always tasks that get in the way
of words always reasons why I don't tell the story
of love and how it changes from when we are young
to when we're not so many kinds of love
are possible if we open our arms if we open our eyes
how easy love can be if we aren't afraid if we are willing to drink
a cup of tea a glass of wine my favorite Vodka with a stranger
who can become a friend if we can have people we don't know
at our table if we allow ourselves the time away from our own tasks
if we learn to listen and learn to hear if we want to love.
