heritage
I come from
the womb
of woman
ready to love,
rich with blood,
intention,
and promise:
I come from walls that hummed,
laughed,
grew to my form,
walls that held my dreams,
sweetly,
wholly,
until I was born.
I come from randomness & divinity,
an untouchable place of wonder,
where love exists endlessly.
I come from my mother,
who painted me,
with limbs, lessons, and love -
year
after year,
until I could paint myself;
I come from who I will become.
Mother.
