I am from poverty<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
from rocks that I played as toy cars.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I am from the house made of earth and straw brick walls, clay tile roofs and soiled floors, from its freshness during the summer and its wet earth smell on rainy days.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I am from the wild cosmos flower valley,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The eight yellow petals and the green stem that covered the entire area.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I am from Saint Franscisto de Asis carnival on October 3rd,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
and the strict, the humble and the respect,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
from Maria del Carmen<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
and Esau and the Ayala\u2019s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I am from going to the field to work on the crops after school<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
and to feed the horses, donkeys and pigs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
From going to the mountains to cut firewood<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
and going to the springs in the mountains to bring spring water to drink.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I am from the Catholic church and school,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
From going to church every Sunday and from having nun teachers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I’m from Olinala, from Xixila and Xitopontla Mexico,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
From the daily fried eggs with hot sauce breakfast to the refried beans lunch and dinner<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
From\u00a0 my aunt Fausta who was said to be a sesame seed of all moles because she would be present in every celebration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I am from memories stored in the closet,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
from my sibling\u2019s school graduations to my sister\u2019 wedding.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
