Where I’m From by Ava Fosness

I’m from…opening ceremonies
I’m from…the sound of drums
I’m from…the women dancing around the drums
I’m from…offering tobacco
I’m from…the smell of fresh fry bread
I’m from…birds chirping in the early mornings
I’m from…my grandpa’s old big trucks
I’m from…my grandma’s strong soul
I’m from…the sound of lighters lighting cigs
I’m from…family gatherings
I’m from…a family of addicts
I’m from…drinking water out of a hose
I’m from…climbing tall trees
I’m from…chasing my siblings playing tag
I’m from…reading books on rainy days
I’m from…here
