Overtaken

Staring out the back door at a world neglected...
The tendrils of vine twirl and wind their way to freedom -
Up the fence posts and along the ground.
I wish they'd come for me,
Creep right up the sidewalk and inside,
Overtake me, choke me out...
The sound of the tree crickets slowly fading with the light
Until it is night.

Overtake me...
