"Where I'm From"

I am from radio’s, from Aero Clothing, and pretty stickers that cover my wall.

I am from the little bunny statue by the door.

I am from roses, the tulips.

I am from the candles we light and dark eyes.

From Ashish and Sharda

I am from the Indian food we eat and enjoy, and the beauty of nature we hover over.

From “sissy” and “sorry”

I am from Hindu’s and the altars in my house.

I’m from Washington Adventist Hospital, tea, and salad.

From the crash of my birds body, and the braces awaiting my sister

I am from the Tootsie Roll box in my drawer including secrets, memories, and cherished items.
