Where I’m From (by Rachael)

I’m from a place
I couldn’t wait
to get away from

halfway down the hill
on Long View Drive

From my front yard I could see
the western highlands

Not very high

Exposed bedrock formed hundreds of millions of years ago
and younger volcanic rock
all smoothed over in the last ice age

Woods grow there now

The sun sets far beyond them

I loved speeding on my bike
down the hill
toward that view
at twilight
