—song to a lone vine survivor of an over-heated summer
which snuffed the hope of harvest in my niece’s garden
(thanks for the photo, Ariel)
small ruby jewel tomato
on my spoon
…………….… you & your reflection
like a bleeding maraschino
on a salad sundae magnify
a loneness
your passion for survival
your lust for life
like a ruddy eclipse discus
recollection
…………..…… returning
ruby moon
