the main theme of the poem is matrifocality in the Caribbean where single parented households are headed by a female. the poem highlights a variety of ways that a single mother earns a living to support her family without assistance from the father. it also depicts her involvement in a series of visiting relationships whereby she seeks financial assistance as a major priority rather than emotional support (which she feels is tempting).
