Curds and Whey
“Blessed are the cheesemakers.”
~Monty Python, Life of Brian
Temperatures regulate
and acid swirls; curds curdle
and tell reluctantly
of brown bearded goats
chomping grass
with pliant teeth and wandering
eyes. Far off in a kitchen.
the maker, with her chewed
apron and dangling cross
waits sourly for the spider.
