NaPoWriMo Day 13: Where Do You Come From?

I come from mountains
so close I can taste them.

I come from the valley
in between that swallows me.

I come from rock cliffs
that my nose bumps against,

walls that get closer and closer.
I come from hills of ideas rising.

I come from the exclamation
points of trees in a forest of words.

    i really like "the exclamation points of trees in a forest of words." You give such a strong sense of place in this poem.
