long lusted to write a work
of which
on the top of the screwtop
poem wine bottle
was writ
"Let"
I know, no denying,
better artistes
have done it,
so you counsel
let it be,
but can't,
no letting
go of what has
emboldened me,
taken hold of me,
the infinite possibilities of
Let
within me,
endless storage,
a room for you to
let
me keep safe keep quiet
whatever you need,
that stuff you don't want
but can't yet disown,
the ashamed,
the not ready to be released,
the best work not ready quite,
a fine tuning required,
even secrets most intimate
let
me be your safe keeper,
until you need a safecracker
to let what you need to
let
go,
go free when
the letting is good
let
let be your verb,
your object,
don't matter to me
let
us escape,
to a better place
let
us through,
pass onto level next
let
me,
rent me, use me, I am
property tangible
let
me contract you, let me a poem,
give me the work I've commissioned
and let it please
let
us know the truth, the truth of you
let!
me see you truly!
let!
us go together!
let!
us try it,
let us be an us!
let
all the lets in our blood boil,
let
us make a list and
let
it become the goodly best
and yes,
let
it be,
the end-let possibilities!
