Last Call

A turbulence of ripe tomatoes, crowded all against
	all, rot-spotted black, stakes weighted till they list 
like a downtown drunk 
when the bars have closed
spheres on the ground split, vomiting pale
seeds among sprawled arugula – shot
rocket – oregano’s grasping tentacles, and thyme
thyme and again.
Bulging purple basil, bud-topped
swollen with summer, races 
the frost that will topple it
spineless, gutter-splayed.
