Legacy of the Green Monster
 
An odd green monster
 Resides within the corner 
  Of my kitchen sink –
Mouth open,
Stomach rumbling,
  		Whispering feed me – feed me now -
Ready to receive scraps of wilted salad,
 Spicy pie,
  		Pasta sauce and olive pits
   			With bits of Tuesday’s stew -
Not fretting when it’s musty perfume
 	 Mingles with strawberries
   		Past their prime –
Banana peels -
Or
Tattered leaves swept from the floor
 	Dragged in on furry paws;
No sweet smelling new mown hay;
The useless and expired
  	Now expelled from the monster’s grip,
A smorgasbord of the over ripe,
The underdone, 
  		The scorched and slightly singed 
Mingling – Maturing -
Ever ripening in 
A mountain growing by the house
To once again revive growth,
	With discarded apple cores
		And sweet potato peels - 
This pungent bisque spread on sleeping garden beds
When springtime wakes the earth
 From hibernation
Only to find tomato plants
Growing in the strangest places.
