Where I'm From
I am from a whispering sun
who persuades me to swim in salty seas.
I’m from a blasting bass,
dark fizzy beverages,
and even darker eyeliner I continue to avoid.
I’m from intense staring contests,
chasing invisible people,
soy sauce eating sushi
before I do,
and forests held still on a portion of a wall.
I am from literal sky reaching,
with tight muscles and pointed toes.
even when I’m not flipping on a roof top when I’m alone.
Me, a figure-eighted sky,
and clouds like minds waiting to be told.
I am from a hopeless jumping heart
from the sight of eyes like the core of the Earth.
I am from sleepless sleepovers,
with friends who are a life’s worth.
Yes, all you do need is love.
A sapphire ring comes from my finger,
because of my grandmother who I will not forget.
Until it is replaced with a white ring,
that one precious moment,
I will not regret.
