(natal plum)
as a child she observed
cane-cutters sweating
all day under the sun
always looking ragged
their children running barefoot
and wives buying food on credit
determined to end
the repeated cycle
of those who seemed destined
to suck salt
she created a credit union
when an adult
established funds to help
workers buy homes
and enjoy the sweetness
of the stalk
