My warmth stems from my heart

Without it

My shell will freeze

My fingers crystalize

Mu skin will stiffen like glass

Heavy vibrations

And suddenly

The earth beneath me will crack

Then finally

Combust

My heart is the sun

And I am the universe

That orbits around it

She works hard

Works overtime

Any and every shift

Until the sun and moon say their goodbyes

Overtime

She’s a provider

The best mother, grandmother, and aunt

With no complaints

She’s mumus and Anita Baker

Security and overseer

The Ancestors

All in the now

Without my heart

The universe itself doesn’t exist
