I remember being locked in the pumpkin of her own eyes. Smiles that catch Snow and burn fire. She is Nkem, Yes, My Nkem! She sparkles more than she glitters; More than even the brightest Star. She is a canvas; colored with all the shades of beauty. Like the Udala tree is Sacred. She could pass for a goddess if she is not one already So in my heart, her temple is Laid.
