Poema
Bilingue
Yo soy de
the TV
De the
fridge y the cupboards
Yo soy del
exotic jungle in my backyard
The cool
chill of the basement
Yo soy de the rosebush
El enormous
cedar tree in my driveway
Whose long
gone limbs I remember
As if they
were my own
Soy de loudness y stubborn people
De Petroula y Hristo
Yo soy de arguing y complaining
Y de being
late to every event
Yo soy de
respecting others y family comes first
Y love each
other
Soy de family dinners
Yo soy de Portland and Greece
Souvlaki y Spanacorizo
De the lamb
roasted by my uncle
Seasoned
with lemon through the rotation of the spit
My papou's
rundown house
Laying in
the village of Prosimni
Waiting to
be occupied once more
