marlene mountain
one-line haiku sequence
march
1 1989
supposedly
supposedly at the height of my powers
yet this illness and mother
if i could write what i feel what i
know
no library can hold a woman's thoughts
when a woman puts down another woman
all
she's talking about male supremacy
when a man puts down a woman all
do you know who you are
finally enough scotch to feel sorry
for myself
the moon may or may not be full
my ideas what ideas for the next painting
series
this time can i catch up to myself
no don't think no don't feel put it
all on hold
'dear marlene you are so brave'
Brussels Sprout 8:1 1991
