Sway But Don't Ever Change - Isabelle Quinn

---

my dear corner of the world,

sway but don’t ever change

my dear corner of the world,

with dunes

that draw themselves with wind,

sway

with water

that washes with tide,

sway

with skies

that switch with sun,

sway

with me

on top of you

in my static squares—

walls, bed, towel, table

i beg you

i’ll go if you stay

if you sway

please stay

my dear corner of the world,

sway but don’t ever change
