Heirloom Tomatoes
A home grown gift
heirloom tomatoes
arranged upon an
heirloom teatowel
brandywines
black cherries
earls of edgecomb
box car willies
green zebras
purple calabashes
garden peaches
a succulent
seduction
begging to be
sliced and shot
or
savored
with balsamic
basil garlic
mozzarella
from a buffalo
or
eaten waspy
on white
with mayo
or
bitten
like a
squirty
apple
or
or tossed
like popcorn
down
the hatch
so many
tomatoes
so little
time
