    Where Im From

    I am from steak,
    from Goya and Kraft.
    I am from the broken stairwell leading upstairs
    (cracked and shattered,
    It felt like rocks)
    I am from the sugar canes
    the corn cobs,
    whose long stalks I remember.
    Im from the family gatherings and graciousness and love
    from Ana and Marcelo
    and Ricardo.
    Im from the loud hollering and
    staying up all night.

    From being quiet


    And speaking up.
    Im from treating people fairly
    no matter what they do.
    Im from a rural hospital
    Horses and lambs
    From the broken finger,
    Due to a quickly shut door.
    The crossing of countries,
    Under the guest bed.
    I am from the country with poor slums,
    and people waiting to be saved.
