Stealing Hidden Tomatoes

carmen_la_roja

red marbles by the library
in tangled green vines
I wish I could describe how it smells, climbing there
it was once perfume
I search alone for hidden treasures
yellow flowers made gold
glories of a buzzing summer
years ago
 we would have been swimming
 at the lake
