Home

I am from my HOME. I am from a board game my dad never plays From Monopoly and Cheetos I am from the deck my dad built (sturdy, wooden, mom always worried about splinters) I am from roses that we didn't plant Light pink and spiky that I always pick I'm from my mom’s cooking and dark brown hair (other than me and my dad) From my brothers, Logan and Hudson I'm from video games and movies I’m from Alberta, half of me Portuguese The other too much to say From the brown of my mom’s eyes that sets her apart from our blue and the seafood we always eat on Christmas Eve pumpkin pie that my mom forgot to put the sugar in The seashells on a shelf, five of them there The seashells my great grandma said she had never found before but I found on the shore The place where I snuggle up and read I am from my HOME.
