Im from the honeysuckles, The pear trees by the neighbors garden From the creek when I swing over it. Im from the yellow walls of Grandmas kitchen From the Yorkshire pup, the coolest thing in my family. Im from macaroni pictures of the Ark From I just cant snap my fingers and make it happen and from David the Gnome in summers long ago. Im from my moms side of the family, From roasting turkeys for each holiday, From when Papaw yelled at his boss and got fired From the family pictures in the big wooden cabinet and From the family gathering when we drag them out. I am from those moments. A root that no one sees, but walks all over An important part of the tree. Where Im From. by Lauren I m from baths in the kitchen sink, From Downy and Moms perfume I am from flowers by the fence (yellow and springy they tasted like crayons). I am from the ivy crawling up the house, The baby tree whose sturdy trunk shot from the ground A mirror image of my planted feet. Im from sprinkles and plastic table donut shops From Bert and Ernie Im from stupid heads and dot dot I got my cootie shot From dont touch this and dont touch that. Im from Hymn No. 96 and why is this piece of bread so small? And bible crafts made from neon pipe cleaners. Im from Bill and Darlenes branch From hot soup and freshly baked corn bread From the Well, when I was littles and the snowy games Told to me by Green Bay Packer season ticket holders In the storage room are boxes Overflowing with shiny, color-coated memories Bundles of dreams kept alive To ask my mother about. I am from those moments A leaf changing color with the weather Time only strengthens the branch that holds me.
