“bindweed around bittersweet nightshade”

things get tangled up in the fences and boundaries. shrubs and bushes push up against it. moss and seed settle in the cracks of the pavement. honeysuckle, bindweed and morning glory, virginia creeper, bittersweet nightshade weave incessantly within. ecological maintenance. when trees outlive fences, and when fences shape trees. nothing is ever finished, they vine and create through lines. substance is reused and repurposed. and there’s being disappointed in yourself but maintaining some slack. and the debris that gets caught up in the in between.
