Soup

Bite-sized pieces,

I keep minimizing

so that none will choke

as they feed

… and in the cutting down

I feel the loss,

as if this feast

is better consumed

like rich cuisine in a large pot.

 

Surely it is up to others

whether they sip or choose

to gorge themselves

or take one whiff and turn away.

 

Surely my talent

is in adding new spices

and offering spoons.
