Ashley Zamora

Where I'm From

I am from chile en el jardín

From tajín and chamoy

I am from la vela de Guadalupe y las cuernas de elke

I am from the dewy grass in the field behind my house

Whose long- gone limbs I remember as if they were my own.

I’m from ojos café and cabello negro

From iglesia de católica  

I’m from Zamora y Maes

Whose long-gone limbs I remember as if they were my own.

I’m from portate bien and callate muchita

And Cañoncito (aka Canyon City)

I’m from Matanzas en Domingo I’m from mis abuelitos de Las Trampas y Cañoncito

From un casa vieja en Cañoncito y los arboles de manzana.

Whose long-gone limbs I remember

As if they were my own.

I am a proud Hispanic girl.
