I Am From

rrodriguez

I am from the mountainside,
From guavas and orange trees.
I am from a dot on the map
                                                                   And a one way in and out street                                                                   (Narrow, old, bouncy).

 

I am from sugarcane
Whose sweetness tempted me.

I am from passion fruit and el coquí
Under its melodious singing, I fell asleep
As it rained all night,
From Ursula and Luisa house.

 

I am from tobacco and rum,
From simple people who lived long.

I am from the music, the rice and beans,
From where grandpa walked with a cane
And from where he walked slowly because
Time would wait, and kites danced in the sky.

 

I am from the moments of child exploration
Under the mango tree.
