GREENY MIX OF VITAMINS AND PROTEIN

clenching my fork —
in my garden of leafy
goodness,
                      a ladybug

salad sweats,
running
into the trash heap.

forgotten tines and teeth
release voluminous vitamins and protein
to sow what they reap,
bottom of bowl weeps…

but I’m okay with that!

*greeny (defined by Merriam-Webster):

Whimsically fun, and loved by those of us who love ladybugs and green vegetables!
