leaves.

vines
little
tedious
vines
clutter
spread
and come forth
of people's hearts
and rap around
one another
viens, and stems
burst and reach
enter and infold
inhabit
then
then leaves grow
then even
flowers
and sometimes
fruits.
hearts
anchor one another
vascular tissue
xylem and phloem
the nutrients and minerals
of everyday
heart ache.
I let my heart
well
not that I let it
as much as
failed to struggle
and it's vines
clutched yours
and you
just laughed away the leaves.
