Starting Another Day

BY LORENA CAPUTO

To the reggae rhythms
on his radio, a man
pushes his coconut
cart up the street, the juice
sloshing in its clear bin,
the coconut sweets &
his dark skin gleam in this
morning’s hesitant sun.

Poet-translator Lorraine Caputo’s works appear internationally in over 500 journals and 24 collections of poetry – including In the Jaguar Valley (dancing girl press, 2023). She is a Best of the Net and Pushcart Prize nominee. She journeys through Latin America, listening to the voices of the pueblos and Earth.
