Tamarind
Opal Palmer Adisa
Mangy dog
mingle wid pot-belly
picknies;
leaves sail
in open gutters
mingle wid pot-belly
picknies;
leaves sail
in open gutters
Human feces
is de only
refuse in garbage bins
Johncrows circle
Women at darkness
keep company
wid streets, leanin against
walls waitin men whose
wallets mean food
Tamarind switch
slices flesh
Johncrow descends
