separate

two vines spring
from the ground
near a pole

climbing, meeting
each other on the way
intertwining

tendrils
wrapped around
each other

tightly, growing
indistinguishable
from each other

green harmony
around a rusted
electric pole

but at the top
where does one go
wires force them out

in opposite directions
they cling, desperately
in hope

of going back
against growth
against nature

but how.
