I am from
I am from – June Pham
I am from the hammock
from noons slept in mother's arms
under the coconut trees
sweet and comfortable
I am from days after classes
my mother came to the school to pick me up
under the rain
wet and warm
I am from a picnic
my father carried me on his shoulders
the sun shines over us
His long shadow shaded my life
peaceful and smooth
I am from the fights
with my brother for candies
for snacks, for gifts
sugary until now
I am from yesterday’s moments
from happy seconds
being with the family
always delighted.
