Where I'm From By Helena

Where I'm From

I'm from the house in Hawaii,
And drinking juice with Tala.
I'm from the waves crashing on the beach,
And daily rainbows.

I'm from the yellow house on Kolping Strasse,
From Kim across the street,
And the secret passage through the bamboo,
At the playground.

I'm from the blue rented house,
And Pacific Oaks.
From the Safe Way close by,
and the rocky beach two streets down.

I'm from fire ants on the hot streets,
A big house with a twin in Savannah.
I'm from my dad's omelets and walks to school,
From playing Indians,
And swimming in the sun.
