Where I Come From
I am from little toys, from
hair gel to vases.
I am from the Foster Home
and the scent of cleaning.
I am from the growing basil,
the fallen tree out back whose
long gone limbs I remember as
if they were my own.
I'm from movie nights and
silver coins and from loud
Christmas feasts.
I'm from giants and Krampus
and "God Bless America!"
I'm from watching the fireworks
from Cali and Michigan, pineapple
on pizza.
I'm from Indian princesses,
Kings with forgotten names.
With pictures on the wall
in the bedroom I'll remember
forever.
