marlene mountain
one-line haiku sequence
december 18-19 1983
this week
this week to friends, you know, my priest friend .
. .
planned to ask him about teraphims: goddess
images, right?
his acceptance & playfulness of me as
mountain
of us i thought we're the haiku outlaws
nothing filed this year his letters in piles
of bills & junk
his excitement but my misinformation isis'
flower the iris
kept many of his envelopes wish all
santa & jesus sometimes well i thought
twice because of his joy
woulda loved getting into a long scotch
night talk
