Heart of Cheese

by Sarah Knutson

I found her on the counter.
I want more cheese in my body.
She said.
At three years old, she already knew
The way to my heart.

Three more years forward,
Her favorite meal is
Sliced meat, fancy cheese, and crackers
All served on a bamboo board.

Family lunch, she calls it.
As always, she knows that
Cheese will win me over,
Whenever the opportunity arises.
