Here some cheese
in a shaker - or plastic container - feeling
for all the world
like sawdust
Put it on your pizza - on your pasta
it will taste like something full
will soak the grease
Pull itself from within and without
2
When you make tortellini for the first time
you must sing a song

Some vehicle-less wheels
sever themselves form shelving - they will go off to find horses to pull them
This will never be smooth - press your fingernail into the rind
it is like a candle or the skin of a pumpkin
Inside it is the color of squash - it looks like a tree chopped down
splinters itself and peels itself
4
The milk is pure
it is a bucket a cloth wrapped around itself
a scarf a turban a broken promise of new life
It rests until it doesn't
until it forms itself around a center
the tiniest bacteria itching until a pearl coalesces into curd
Have you watched someone churn butter ?
how it's just liquid until it suddenly isn't
have you kissed that moment ?
5
What knife
in the heart
When you need that spread
it will come
