dream

soup

National Poetry Month 2020

How to make your dreams come true:

Grab a bowl big enough for soup

stir in

1 part wish

1 part will

2 parts gusto and tears from the no’s you’ve collected along the way.

Sprinkle with endurance.

Grip the handles,

tilt side to side.

Do you see it-

your dream?

Do you smell it lifting from the froth condensed on top?

Do you feel it on the horizon?

It’s ready to be consumed by you, the maker of you dreams.
