Give / Take (II)

First time posting -- please be brutal. 



Give / Take (II)


attempting subtlety
attempting                        invasiveness
like ivy
i cling to the dead
to wood and bricks
              and practice
                symbiosis


but i can’t
get a tight enough grip i
can’t revive what’s gone and
never existed and
truthfully i can’t
find the crevices that
                                 fit


too easy to cut away,             attachment
is flower business
and gardener’s
work.
