"Where I'm From"
I am from old family photo’s

From stairs and chairs

I am from the blue wooden house

It feels happy

I am from the rose

The walnut tree

Whose long gone limbs i remember

As if they were my own

I’m from dinner and fan

From Alexis and Aria

I’m from debates and wrestling

And from horror flicks

I’m from cleaning and eating

And “Enter Sandman”

I’m from a cup of tea or hot chocolate after dinner

I’m from Port Jervis and America

Ice cream and pasta

From my sister swallowing liquid when she was first born and

stayed in the hospital for two weeks

Christmas nicknames on the shelves in the living room
