Ghost (ivy)

Ivy (ghost)

I creep along the walls.
All day I watch
crushing bodies, wrapping around each other, watering each other, drinking
each other in under
Ultraviolet light.
I am no wallflower, there is no delicacy to my structure, no air of mystery to
intrigue you.
I am invasive.
I crave light.
                        I go
                                 where
                                                      not
                                              am        wanted

                                                                          I never learn.
I live between the walls.
I am free. Spirit
And I am still knocking over plates so that you will
Look at me.
Sorry. I didn’t mean to frighten you.
I’ll take what I can get.
At least now when you don’t see me
it’s not my fault.
