marlene mountain 
  one-line haiku sequence 
  january 1993 
  
rain on rain
spring rain her ribs arm and nose broken 
  but not their home 
  summer rain a daughter steps in front takes a hard fist 
  fall rain he carefully explains his mother's eye her clumsiness
  winter rain 'till death do us part' she up and shoots him
