Anthony J. Pupello on Marlene Mountain
September 18, 2018 § Leave a comment
I had the opportunity to meet Marlene Mountain at a group show she was participating in at New York University. She was really something special. At first, I think I puzzled her. But when she recognized my name, it was as though we were old friends. Her pieces were something else as well. What was astounding was that Grey Art Gallery is so staid and Marlene and her work are certainly not. I was sort of surprised she showed there – but very happy as it gave me a chance to meet her. When I asked if she would be speaking the next day, she said “they wouldn’t let me speak – they’d tie me up!”

moonlight lights blazing in the empty train cars
winding a bobbin the color of her husband’s thread
after church a butterfly explodes on the windshield

the blind keyboard player’s blue tattoo
twenty seven years in the same double bed winter rain
first firefly it’s about time he got home

in the dog’s empty bowl a baby cricket
an amazing universe but cloudy
reading the cartoons skipping the poems

breathless heat ambushed by thunderheads
prairie sunset the lonely farmhouse flickers out
night rain putting on my good underwear

autumn trees
noisy grackles
leave in silence
rooming house shower
watching cockroaches
scatter into holes
change break
the Casino hostess
adjusts her pantyhose

in the recess
of the bulkhead
a spider bites me
wild oats
ladyslippers
which path to take
lost in the lights
the high fly ball
that never comes down

stretched out
by a shadow
the grasshopper’s antennae
two crows huddle
on a bare elm limb
falling snow
crack
in the citadel wall
dandelion flower

out of the clouds
of summer rain
a red balloon
bumper to bumper
the monarch changes lanes
uncontested
wildflower garden
swallowtail wrapped
in a spider’s web
