I am from papanasi with hats of cream and jam, 

I am from tree hands and birds like musicians,

I am from gambling on the weather sunny or cloudy,

I am from circles of pines,

I am from dancing grass and singing wind gently passing,

I am from four orphan kittens,

I am from “complete all duties before relaxation”,

I am from “hau”, “huo”, “woof” all night long,

I am from chirping sparrows and raspy crickets,

I am from frogs in the pipes, 

            croaking aggressively,

I am from mărțișori for my mother,

I am from covrigi for my father,

I am from creeping, creaking, crunchy circles of trees, joined

                                                                                                                 by

                                                                                                                      mycelium cords,

I am from liters of beer for my grandpa,

I am from freshly made popcorn by my  grandfather,

I am from Ciocan and Nicoleta,

I am from snake-carrying stiksssssss,

I am from bottle of lizards,

I am from peach trees adorning the backyard,

I am from bee buzzing roof,

I am from panna cotta drenched in apricots,

I am from Câmpulung,

I am from Timișoara,

I am from Bucharest,

I am from Corbeanca,

I am from 96 year old grand-grandfather,

I am from tomato and apple garden in the back of old stone home,

I am from baked apples Saturday,

I am from long walks across train tracks,

I am from houses in unclaimed lands,

I am from sweet memories,

Bringing back cruel symphonies.
