The poem below is from "Collected Works" including "The Thirsty Fish" & "Latter Days"
The Ripe Fruit
I am like
The small green tomato
Left on the vine as autumn
Rushes in. I linger, refusing
To ripen, to fall, to be consumed.
Brahms in the morning and
I wait, charcoal in hand to attack
Again and again the act of creation.
In the quiet house I hear
Strange breathings. I wait, still
Caught in this world, in your web.
I dance again, ready for the feast,
The party, still caught, still wanting,
Still hungry, but the cold wind of autumn
Blows around my house. My house
Is old. I linger beyond my season.
I am the small hard green tomato which
Clings still to the vine.
