Where I'm From
Jemar Fabricante
I am from stalagmites,
from stalactites and dripping water.
I am from the Hoyop-hoyopan cave.
(Black, dark filled with wonder and curiosity.)
I am from the Cagsawa,
the volcanos
whose long gone rocks I remember
as if they were my own.
I am from pinangat and bicol express,
from volcanos and islands.
I am from the proud
and the socializers,
from talking and chilling.
I am from He restoreth my soul
With long white-clothed table
And bright religious images that move me.
I am from Fabricante,
Lechon and straight-from-the-coconut.
From the time lost
To the memories
The get togethers
From the mother my father lost in order to move on from bad habits.
In my room was a gallery
Spewing out memories.
A flashback of all of the fun times and the unforgettable people
To fade away in my land of thought and dreams.
I am from those instances-
Ended right after I enjoyed the moments and memories-
The latest leaf in the family tree.
