I cannot write.

Of broken flowerpots,
with leaves rotting all around them.

Of chipped washbasins, placed underneath eaves
so that the rain may rain within them

Of the way in which the bathrooms of beautiful women smell
& the water on the floor, puddles upon grit stone.

Of wastebaskets, of cigarette
buts put out in the sand, on the beach.

Of dead things, hours thrown away in front of the tv,
beer glasses emptied [too] fast.


But I would surely like to.
I would collect them all,
pick them up off the floor,
bring them back,
& give them away – for safekeeping.
[rains & dogs & bicycles & bad music & torn books]

Of all things mundane
I cannot write, for, look,
words have
murdered them.
