Sachertorte

Favoured granddaughter, great-granddaughter,
I am handed a knife
to do the honours.

The dark shining surface resists
and I press down harder,
panic rising in me now,

a sudden collapse:
my blade slips and stutters,
ooze spills from the cut.

You conjure up a wonderful image with just a few words.

Ignore the way I'm drooling at the thought of the cake!
