Poema Bilingue


Yo soy de letras on the counter
Soy de bare light bulbs y warm socks
Soy del bosque,
Del rio willamette, columbia, snake
Del arbol dogwood, delante de mi casa

where I played with my sister in summer

Soy de solstice y equinox
De Mamá y Papá
Yo soy de 'Clean up!' y 'Sleep safe, sleep soon'
And washing the dishes three days after they got to the sink


Soy de dibujos de mi papa
and songs from my mother
de bye bye miss american pie
y I look into the world,
in which the sun is shining
in which the stars are sparkling...

Soy de Walla Walla
de Noruega y Suecia
de Annie's mac n' cheese
and the chicken muy seco
that my papá makes

Yo soy de el foto de mi abuelo,
the only one my mother shows me
El foto de mi familia,
wrapped safe in my heart
