marlene mountain
other-line haiku sequence
1971

as is

 

fireplace

fireplace
removing 4 or 5 coats of paint
not getting the last one

under the cardboard insulation
of the old cabin
a woman's clippings

first taste of the spring
through plastic pipe--
the taste!

drinking out of the spring
a crawfish peers
up at me

just outside
the discount store
salvation army

last summer
gazing at the mountains in japan
this summer--tennessee

old neighbor
talking of his youth
over a buzz saw
