I’ve seen tiny birds patrol my tomato
plants keen-eyed bug hunters
that snatch creatures with
ill intent under leaves
the feathers I haven’t seen
are those that attack ripe tomatoes
and no doubt depart with juice
dripping from their beaks
come to think of it
maybe the same ones
that perform upkeep
also enjoy the harvest
I hate it when caring
is misplaced
and offenders go unpunished
