marlene mountain
other-line haiku sequence
1971

as is

in tennessee

driving
to the mountains . . . spring
again

Roan mountain
in rain. i recall Japan
today . . .

Farmer stops his work,
waits for our approach
then waves.

Atop flowering Roan Mountain
searching for newts
in rotten logs

cricket
put in the terrarium as food
is singing tonight.
