A trio of scarlet tomatoes
perch on my kitchen windowsill,
traveled here in the hands of a friend.
These are New Mexican tomatoes, brought to my Portland home,
tres soles against the grey rain of Oregon.
She made salsa for me, and was on her way,
leaving behind her luminous Kat-laughter,
and three red tomatoes.
