Claiming Territory

Claiming Territory Amongst blades of grass Stubborn weeds Spread adamant seed standeth proudly In its glory From its lips it utterth A song Several generations strong A mirror of the sun Yanked from the earth The mother birthed It , too, bleeds At its core Where it’s heart beats It breaks free through concrete Making its presence known Navigating terrain Claiming territory Marckincia Jean 07/30/2021 Free verse
