Douglas Tanoury
Tomatoes

Picked tomatoes ripening
On the kitchen windowsill.
Neatly lined against the glass
In descending order of size.
Always gives me a warm
Feeling of home.
A reminder there's a woman
About, a woman's touch,
A woman's caring,
A woman's patient waiting.
Pale pink growing toward
A deeper scarlet will mark
Them for a special salad
Sometime next week.
