FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

there is always something to write
if you think there is none
look around you, sit by the window
see the world
framed by wood and fenced by
glass

there is always something to write
but if you think there is none
close your eyes, feel your fullness
and if you are full ( as you may always think)
empty yourself
like a sack of rice and spill the grains
upon solid grounds
under the hot sun this cruel summer.
if you still think that there is nothing to write
leave and go elsewhere
sit inside the bus, do not think
let your mind flow with the streets and the trees
and the dust that hits your face
yes the dust, just the dust, and then you will remember
and then you have everything to write
back home.
