Japan
I remember
A huge family
And a small room
good food
And big smiles
I remember
That there,
We wore slippers inside
And The air smelled like rice straws, and smoke, and incense, and flowers
I remember
There was a man
He Was someone I looked up to like the clouds
And he was so kind
He smelled of soy sauce, and delicious food
I remember
Standing under a cherry blossom tree
Looking up
Slurping noodles
And absorbing the air
I remember
That we went in the summer
The air was thick
And hot
Warmth wrapped around me like a blanket of the sky
And the time went too fast
I remember
That at dawn
When the sun scraped the black skies and stars away,
It was time to come home
