I am from nothing. From privilege thoughts and poor choices. I am from rumpled school uniforms and skinned knees. From the stinging taste of red clay to the black and blue sleeves of prepubescent rage. I am from giant dogwoods whose long- reaching branches scrapped against that endless, black celling. The forever nights, holding on to Dogwood limbs. Eyes un- blinking. Starring into the abyss of creation. From Cap’n Crunch and chocolate milk to black coffee and cigarettes. I am from absent brothers and forgetful fathers. I am from awkward crushes to adolescent wet-dreams of the budding tulips walking down our halls. From the class clowns to the wall- flowers. From the fuck-ups to the *Prima Donnas*. From the Sunday fields of old and new to the Wednesday rivers of the born again. I am from the warming light.

Sleepless nights.  Letters read.  Poems written.  Faith restored. Passion persisted. Love sustained. Forever, Forever.
