Ripe Tomatoes

I found the ripe tomato
in the garden though
it wasn’t my garden and
I’d not been looking
nor had I wondered
at its taste or the feel
of its skin polished
in my hand

I stole it from the vine
And this is my confession
I knew it was to be
your breakfast

but the seeds
were too wonderful
and the sun
was in my eyes
so I ate your tomato today
Or was it yesterday
