KitchenSponge

I know now that 
this is my time 
to be absolutely still
To watch to listen 
to contemplate to understand 
To absorb like a 
kitchen sponge to hold 
and then to rinse 
sending all the garbage 
down the drain out 
of sight to dry
and be used again 
If there is one 
thing a writer is
it’s a kitchen sponge 
Inspiration is nothing more 
than a mess to
be wiped and rinsed
