senryu cluster April 20
in casual dreams, swimming through kelp and worries
(in memory of the 900 souls that died under People's Temple pastor; Jim Jones)
1978: in Guyana, 900 die from madman's fruit-juice
been away...the bright orange of Fanta soda
eating carrot chips, and still senryu burn in me
lopsided rainpour, my aversion to 'white' Jesus quite strong
brainwashing: black woman not allowed to shop downtown
within the rain, my roots turn translucent—i think
still tired, poetic output slows down for a minute
