Heirloom.
“Just tell it
to keep
beating.”
The words of wisdom
that my mother
has given
to me
are rare.
But
these pearls
are part of
my inheritance
from her.
They hang
on a thing strand
that falls
next to my heart,
weary as it is.
But
with each
s l o w
labored pump
it still beats
and beats
and beats.
As it should.
As it must.
