Cheesy Fudge


i

On the top shelf of the fridge sits a neatly wrapped greaseproof parcel, carefully enclosed
with the ends tucked in like a precious gift
or an illegal substance.

Every time I open the door to select the milk
it calls me.

I stare and stare. My internal conversation fighting the urge to eat,
fighting the urge to taste just one bite,
of the perfect little blocks of:

ii

White creamy cheesy
sticky sweet squares
that squishes and squashes
in between my finger tips
before bouncing back
to whole cubes of heaven.

And fail.

iii

I bite
leaving a
perfect mould
of my molars.
Buzzing sweetness
fills my mouth.

Sweetly cheesy
Sweetly lovely
Sweetly fudgy
Sweetly naughty
Creamy cheesy fudge.
