A giant woman was taken from her home under the Western sun as a child and spent 13 years baking in the Caribbean, where she gathered Creole cargo and knowledge before returning in giant strides to the cold and uncertain climate of the Western shore of an island, going back to her beginnings in England after many years away.

I’ma giantwoman
Removedasa babe
From underthe Westernsun
Whenmy feetcouldn’trun

To bake in the Caribbean.

Withknowledge then
I strode a giantstride once more.
I’ma giantwoman

To the cold Westernshore
Of an islandwithclimate unsure
Whetherhot,rain,cold,wind,sun
Aftersomany years
Back to my beginninginEngland.
