Home	I am poem   I am from a place named after the ground of sand, from a place far from where I stand. I am from a world my dad had to depart, from a place where my mom has her heart.   I am from a home La Virgen de Guadalupe reigns supreme, from a home where respect for our parents was extreme. I am from a Zacetecano family tree, from its roots to its leaves high up for all to see.   Soy de tortillas, tamales, arroyz y tal vez un frijol, de mis ojos y cabello café, hasta mi piel dorada por el sol. Soy de mi rosario de La Primera Comunión, de la música de Chente y Los Bukis que escucho como religion.   Soy de "te aplacas o te aplaco?" y "vas a ver", de los gritos de mi Amá, "y ahora qué vas a hacer?!" Soy del Chavoe del Ocho y el Chapulin Colorado, de los miles de golpes que me dejaron morado.   I am from pain, suffering, and sadness, from peace that keeps me from the madness. Soy orgullosamente de Carolina y Vicente, SÍ, son ellos, mis padres, a quién siempre llevo en mi mente.
