Who am i ?


when you told me 
to forget about my values,
i swear i saw
Rosa Parks
Mahatma Ghandi,
and Mother Theresa 
wink at me
on the edge of a swallow winged
note
fluttering like sunlight 
through History
whispering
remember…
and after i told you
you asked 
me
who do you think
 YOU
are
to put yourself
 in 
their 
category
??
so i said,  
who am 
i
not too?

My name is Kimberly Vargas Agnese, though I've previously written as Kae Bucher. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south to the San Joaquin Valley. As I ride barefoot around Fresno, I consider the paths I've chosen and the crossroads where our country seems to have perched itself. Thanks to my Romani ancestry, many people groups reside within me and my poetry tends to reflect this. I love welcoming the sunrise with my Native American flute. I've been rumored to juggle while teaching students how to write. And if you can't find me, I'm probably hanging out with Jesus listening to parables.
