2024/Aminata-

I am from red dirt roads

Tire marks and grass fields all around

I am from Earth song at Beatrice's place

The smell of warm honey fills my nose

I am from tatami rooms

where the sun rises before their moon

I am from Doraemon after school

with disappearing kumon in my bag

I am from cousins and family all around

“In or out” spoken from afar

I am from running behind bikes

Racing down the road

Feeling the summer evening breeze

I sit and reminisce on thing I have done

How things could be so different

I am from memories of fun

Seemingly two different lives made into one
