What I have -
A rainforest of books on
writing
secret pages in my journals
hidden words, restrained.
A hundred ballpoint pens
all working
warm cashmere
Chanel,
a robin splashing in the
bird bath.

I'd like
a garden of my own
tall trees sheltering
my words, rationing
sunlight and rain.
Shoes and handbags are
good, too. Unusual
designs,silks, lavish.
More words, elegant, profuse,
uncensored
a glint of effortless prose
in an otherwise crowded
page.
