I am from…
I am from dog poop in the yard
from bikes and doors
I am from the cleanest house and dirtiest room
feeling free
I am from the roses
The lemon tree
whose long gone limbs I remember
as if they were my own
I’m from chicken at thanksgiving and brown eyes
from Xiomara and Patrick
I’m from messy and clean
and from sleeping
I’m from reading and stars
and twinkle twinkle little star
I’m from staying up till’ 12 on christmas
I’m from Los Angeles and Salvadorans
steak and salmon
From a four year old death
Uncle killed by cancer
First time at a baseball game
Memories in my closet
