Frozen under-ripe tomatoes on windowsill; text overlaid on image
Small Signs of Hope:
My tomatoes in hope were displayed
In bright sun on the sill, not in shade
But they froze in the night
And will never be ripe
Thus my dreams of caprese waylaid.

rain and mud and summer’s heat
probably wildfires
But at this precise moment
warm air caresses bare skin
