Yes. Deeds of all kinds, including those granting or reserving an easement, can be made subject to conditions subsequent that would trigger revocation.
A revocable easement is unusual. Calling it an "easement" may be acceptable, but arguably it is not an easement. More accurately, it is probably a license.
