Layered Fragments, Becoming Whole

The ivy plant drapes
on 
bamboo trellis 
vine and leaf an extension 
of 
one another 
stretching wide  
like extended phalanges 
reaching its limit 
as it climbs down
tickling 
the white plaster 
Inch 
by 
Inch 
In      t i m e 
lovers soft kiss 
as it brushes 
the wooden floor
complete
unconscious g r a c e 
moving into unclaimed space
worn in
embodiment 
of  
beauty
