Born in Blood
I am from a pregnancy test
From Irih Spring o Jack Daniels
I am from a zebra banket that cove me
In the night
To the pictures that frme
My family's happy faces
Unique
Special
It smells lik nutmeg incense
And
Feels kewarmth that greets you
From the freezing air
I am from the wood
The bamboo
That is hard to go through
But weaken by harshness
Im from the hand pund
And
Thesap of fingers
To the curly hair
Thatgros from my very own scalp
From Henrietta
Chucky
Vernice
I'm from the hard lovers
And the unforgivers of pain causers
From blood always come first
To never showase your sadness
I'm from the white light
The crossing pass cathedrals
And rosary beads that hangs from my grandmother's neck
I'm from Chicago
Jamaica
Puerto Rico
France and Japan
From
Crepes and platains
From
The marriage of a Native
And a French man
And the grey eyes of Henrietta that never shuts
In my closet
Hides a family portfolio
That I skim when lonely
I am from Different shades
And colors
From affection
Pain
Strength
That taught through our blood
