ivy
i’m sitting at the end of this trip
thinking about how i saw you in every leaf
every drop of water
in the sky
your freckled face
i want to rest my bones between them
and carve out a place where i can finally sleep
i apologize for my messy behavior
and my fibbing as i tried to fight the reality that was gripping me
i tasted you in the rain
i felt warmth speaking your name into the earth
i told the swing sets that i was in love
i told the ladder happiness can be found
i told the ivy that it was you
