marlene mountain
other-line sequences
c 1972
as is
in the middle
in the middle of the acres
not wanting to own
but
to belong
running down
into the 'holler'
puffing
out of it
late afternoon
coming upon a rusty still
with
axe slits
clouds below
the near-by mountain
remembering
japan
on the hill side
clouds come down
mingle
with chimney smoke
