If that didn’t work the way you wished
Dump it out and then…go fish.

Feeling blocked and threatened? It’s right there, in our hands, the answer we used to believe in. Not big things, but small. Let it begin with me…
WHY NOT?
When we gaze ahead
Haze occludes our safe passage

Eggs and flour
Sourdough bananas
Cinnamon Nutmeg and Honey
Chocolate cranberries pecans
Slow baking and sensual
Close your eyes and inhale
Warm from my oven
To your palate

Cat’s trapped me beneath, though my hunger grows
Even so, can’t push him off: the kitty purrs No.
