For Marilyn

For Marilyn

 

Canadian cousin

maple leaf heart

pumping love

April fool

teaching comedy

with self-deprecation

and Leonard Cohen soul

songstress with sisters

harmony of friends

poetry of patience

revealing a peak

behind the family curtain

epigenetic

mental illness

takes its toll

long before

the dawn of reason

salvation studio

paint and easel wait

for creative inspiration

if only there was

a twelve-step program

abstinence from newsfeed

we could save you

from yourself
