Vine’s Valentine

How undo the vine
of my mistakes
now a tangled mess
woven tightly to the trellis
half-dead with yet new tendrils
reaching out frantically
for some new foothold
long past their flowering
my mistakes stayed green
and thriving though yes
brown now so I can take
each leaf and crumple it
in my hands to dust
which I refuse to do
