I’ve been wanting to write today
But nothing seems to be bubbling to the top
I don’t know if my recipes are all in sync
& I’m just watching a pot boil
Or maybe with the new year
I decided to start with a clean slate
& throw everything out to start a fresh batch
So I could make something from scratch
But right now I feel like I’m gathering ingredients
While nibbling on the crumbs of leftovers
Trying to hold myself over until
I can finally begin my buffet
