Pears and Cheese

Phil and the boys picked pears off our trees.

He needed to use the tractor and bucket 

To get high enough

For some.


Two large backs of sweet, ripe fruit.

He cut up a block of Gruyere he found in the fridge,

And started on the Manchebo.

I partook.


It was my first taste of cheese in a month.

And once I started, with the salty umami richness,

The creamy texture matched with the crisp sweetness,

I kept eating.
