from the blistering heat of the golden state,
to frozen spikes fracturing like glass when falling to the ground of the cheese state.
I am from bright blue skies—

I am from a silver BMW—
from three days of barren roads, desert, and brown grass,
to lush green leaves changing color
I am built up of silence—
from sitting in the farthest seat in the class,
to staring off daydreaming of distant friends...
I am from a house of rusty red brick—
from heat radiating from smoldering logs encased in chiseled stone,
to cold leather, buttery popcorn, and a movie projected on a white screen
I am a Warhawk—
from hearing “It’s a great day to be a Warhawk” every day as a freshman,
to reminiscing of Friday night lights and its dreaded finale.
I am from diablo’s peaks—
from its brown grass and lush trees,
to its vast gaze reaching the golden gate
I am Kevin—
from the blistering heat of the golden state,
to what is yet to come...
