Ode to Dumplings.

Oh sweet packets of delicious goodness.

Your perfect fillings suspended in a cocoon of warm broth.

I bite.

Slurp.

And fill you up with spice, sour and salt

then eat my creation with satisfying delight.

Each treat, each bite, each iteration more succulent than the last.

I ate 18 of you.

And now,

I'm spent.
