Where I'm From

I'm from snow-covered mitts and forts and wars,
and from home-made, chocolate-covered Rice Krispies.
I am from pictures take on family trips,
I'm from card games played into the night.
I'm from summers spent running through the halls
in my blue two-piece and towel,
racing toward the backyard pool.

I'm from sunsets at the playground,
from chalkboards and headbands.
I am from monthly piano recitals,
and from milkweed stalks snapped.
I'm from English and Korean words,
and from relatives far away,
and from solving crosswords with my grandma on Sundays.
