I've had to weed
again, the vine
that sends runners
into my field
of tomatoes
I've noticed
its insistence,
its resistance
to my grooming
The vine
sprouts a fruit
I haven't tasted,
I like my tomatoes
very well
Anyway, I've given
a bit of ground
to the vine,
and its creation
And I've given
thanksgivings
for my tomatoes
and rejected the runners
But the vine
is insistent
and I sometimes
wonder
the flavor of its produce?
