Family Farm 
Daddy.                                                                
Missed.                                                               
​Though 35 years gone.                                    
The root of the fruit                                         
that I bear.                                                         
Mama.                                                                
Still needed                                                       
by the child                                                        
seeking guidance                                              
in a grown-up world                                        
minus you.                                                         
Big sis                                                                
whose shadow covered me                             
until I grew faith enough                                
to cast my own                                                  
Lil bro                                                                 
who laughed me                                               
​through childhood                       

and sprouted wisdom
in a female-centered ring.
Lil sis
raised on a different note
but whose voice
comes dipped in
what needs to be heard.

Nayeli.
Most beloved
precious gift.
Who shines so brightly
in the middle of my life
and gives me reason
to Be
to Become
to desire so much more 
of where I am
and who I am
so that I might give to you
what Mama, Daddy
Sisters, Brother
gave to me
​Family.
