asparagus

spear straight
tip of seeds points
to sunny sky

reach down        grasp stem          snap off
fragrant green juices spray
fingers
dampened

eat tip first
fresh texture and taste filling mouth
with life

then eat the rest and survey rest
of growing garden
beans a mini canopy of giant leaves
potatoes poking out of black earth
row of beets reddish grasses
lettuce and spinach flourishing
tomatoes bathing in the warmth

taste all this growth
until the last
bite
