Into the garden of our new house
 Our neighbor's English vines
 Tunneled under a retaining wall
 Not equal to containing all
 The debris of a cracked couple
 Growing sicker and sicker. 
 By night our neighbors’ invading vines,
 Rooted into my dreams from underground,
 Twined their nooses around our lives,
 Branching out manically,
 They choked our sycamore
 And grew thicker and thicker 
 And when I finally scaled their fence
 To kill the source of this malevolence
 Were my neighbors watching me
 From their house I hacked away?
 But vines like these root too deep to kill
 We keep our blinds closed now forever
