Lynda V. E. Crawford is a poet who has lived in the USA longer than her childhood home Barbados, a fact that sways and punctuates her writing. She’s let go of journalism, copywriting, website management, and email marketing. Poetry won’t let go of her.
Mangoes
Mangoes drop down
from trees, the weight of
their ripeness too much
to stop the motion; too
heavy to shun the lane
where a baby sleeps, in
a pram, waiting.
