Yo soy de alarm clocks.
De dog toys and dirty blankets
Yo soy del grey house with the green door
The smell of tomato soup in the ktichen
Yo soy de bamboo trees
El plum tree
whose long gone limbs I remember
As if they were my own

Soy de family dinners y movie nights
De Steve, Amy, y Emily
Yo soy de staying up late y sleeping in
Y de lazy Saturday mornings

Yo soy de "be respectful" y "act kindly"
Y "Take what you want, eat all you take"
Soy de 1 present on Christmas Eve
Yo soy de Portland y Japan
Meatloaf y flatbread pizza
De mom's ski bum stories
Of how she barely made a living during college
Every single memory and detail of my life
In my mind and in my heart
