I Am Poem & Place

I am opened eyes in homey comfort.

I am from the seawater and sand, Sarasota Florida.

I am from sunburned Summers, sandy toe warmers, and a seafood lover.

I am a traveler West, humid lover, Texas raised.

I am tipsy Texas accent, Burque, New Mexico resident.

I am momma, once.

I am heart broken, once.

I am from drinking and dancing early am’s.

I am from bath and bedtime story snuggles.

I am boo boo kisser.

I am hands on knowledge hungry.

I am cold, warm, distant, close.

I am momma, two times, forever.

I am heart broken, twice.

I am fermented grape juice drinker and dark chocolate eater.

I am happy and strong and sad and weak and growing.

I am sky observer, deep air breather.

I am mountain climber, snow surfer.

I am green thumb, art creator and detail noticer.

I am aesthetically pleased and functional needs.

I am organized chaos.

I am not schedules.

I am invisible solid.

I am from Dad and Mom love with three sisters’ hearts.

I am human, humane, and humble.

I am Clyde, Charles, Chuck, Levi’s Mom, Demacio's Mom, The Roberts’ daughter, Erica’s little sister, Racheal’s little sister, Melissa’s older sister, big Carlye, Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom... babe, and Ms. Likens.

I am soon to be Ms. Roberts, again.
