Where I’m From

I’m from towers of trees in the hot fiery desert of Texas,
from a full house that is going to explode
I’m from a tree that we used to call secret,
from it being famous.
I’m from spaghetti and meatballs every
Christmas Eve.
I’m from Barbie and gymnastics
when we were younger
From one specific bunny stuffed animal
that sat on my bed all day
I am from baseball and football
and games in our music town.
Those moments of elementary
Pre-k through fifth,
and everything outside,
I head out into the world
into towers of trees in the hot fiery desert of Texas.
