CRISSA

(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
