Where I’m FromBy Tish Clarke I am from one, split into two identities from Elvis Presley and sketch pads. I am from dad’s art studio in the basement.(Oil Pastels, chalk, It coated my fingers in memories.) I am from the Apple treethe Rose Gardenwhose picket fence was a guardto keep unruly grandchildren out. I'm from hot chocolate and Trixie Beldon books, from Mary Chester and Jerome. I'm from wash possible and the penny-pinchers, from Go to bed! and Clean your room! I'm from On a Hill Far Away with a circle in song and prayer and memories of youth activities with Herbert the Thing. I'm from the Humphreys and the Halls, chocolate pie and strong coffee. From the love of a step father to the court where he adopted me, the strength my Mema possessed, widowed twice. On my closet shelf was a sketchbookfarms with rolling hills, horses, lands far awaysketches of dreams desired. I am from those moments--snapped before I knew how to dream --sketches to change into reality.

What can you infer about your

teacher?

Where I’m FromBy Mr. Gallagher I am from comic books,From Brylcreem and zinc oxideI am from backyard grass stains(Green, smeared,hard to get out).I am from the shorelinethe burning white sandthe long rolling waves crashing over me.

I’m from Lemonheads and Hang 10 shirts,from Big Jim and the Vernie.

I’m from the leftand the right

from Do it right!And heavy doses of dunkball.I’m from transistor radios

listening to Vinnywhen I should have been sleeping

I’m from Gallaghers and Paxtons,from drug abuse and dysfunction

Where loveand anger intertwine,

Where a family lost its way.

In my dresser you’ll findlove letters and photographs,snapshots of people long-gone.I am from these moments—snapped before I, too,Become someone’s memory.
