Against It

here on my back
there is a place
above me in
tomatoed vines
and a man
who loves me
though he
is not mine
and holds my heart
in tender hands
so velvet will not crush
watering gardens
far away
his tears he
can not hush
oh, rockabye my baby
toiling in
your garden green
and in the tears
that you cry
I am
in between

This brought out the green thumb in me. And my love of tomatoes.
