Where I'm From

I was
From grandma’s overflowing paint collection,
ripe raspberries and red grubby hands.
From the end of the line, tallest to shortest
and glowing blonde hair, strand by strand.


I am
From the rewarding sale of my first piece art,
beaming heat and days by the pool.
From 5’1’’ at every doctor's appointment
and bending the rules.


I will be
From lengthy projects and the stroke of a brush,
a bedroom that's not just my own.
From shortest freshman on campus
and “I miss you. Come home.”
