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
