We Live in the Home, that Lives in the Ivy

We Live in the Home, that Lives in the Ivy

We Live in the Home, that Lives in the Ivy


We live in the home,
that lives in the ivy

with its brick walls
and its fire escape

its four windows
and its brass door knob

Today is the first day
we have lived in you

We have brought 
our house plants
to meet you as well

They’re getting
along great so far

Starting from now on,

we’ll live a life in you
dream dreams in you
plant plants in you

But, we’ll remember
our old homes too

Please don’t
take offense

We have loved
the homes we 
come from
and
we’ll miss them…

The same way
someday,
when we leave
from here -
we will miss you

and we’ll
remember
standing in 
the street,
looking up 
thinking -

We live in the home, 
that lives in the ivy
