moved

i shall not be moved

my roots
extend
too deeply
the tides
shall not
sweep
me away

but i shall not be moved

my love
for
you
shifts
the soil
beneath
leaves
my footing
unsure

but i shall not be moved

you’ll have to
come
to me

my insides
have
grown
hooks and barbs
blackened
briars
snake throughout
my body

but i shall not be moved
