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
