There are going to be times when
we can't wait for somebody. Now, you're either on the bus or off the

MARLENE ARON
(March 31, 1943 - September 20, 2018)

Marlene Aron photo by Tom Wishing

“I’m going to make my Art
And that will be my protest.

I'm going to make my Art
and that will be my protest.
I'm going to lift my face to the Sun
and that will be my protest.
I'm going to be thankful I can walk
on sand dunes
and pick up trash
and be grateful for the day
and talk to strangers...
and those will be my protests.
I'm going to make huge and small
and profound works of Art
and paint lots of faces of my brother
because if he were alive
he would also protest.
I'm going to listen to Music that friends make
and laugh and share a drink
or a dessert
and make new friends
and talk to strangers
and smile at babies
and laugh with strangers
and share meals with friends -
and that will be my protest.
I'm going to listen to a cello
and close my eyes
and smile inside...
and that will be my protest.
We won't give up
and that will be our protest.
We'll keep going
and that will be our protest.
We'll laugh and drink
and say hell with you
and write Poetry
and make Art
and make Love
and walk on the beach
and be grateful for the Sun
and bare feet on sand dunes
and that will be my protest.
And that will be our protest.
And that will be our protest.

3 am- April 29, 2017~~ Marlene's protest poem

everson

seed Some seed in me, Some troublous birth, Like an awkward awakening, stirs into life. Terrible and instinctive It touches my guts. I fear and resist it, Crouch down on my norms, a man's Patent assurances. I don't know its nature. I have no term for it. I cannot see its shape. But, there, inscrutable, Just underground, Is the long-avoided tatency. Like the mushrooms in the oak wood, Where the high-sloped mountain Benches the sea, When the faint rains of November Damp down the duff, Wakening their spores--- Like them, Gross, thick and compelling, What I fear and desire Pokes up its head. © William Everson		soul! O vast potentiality unprobed! Be touched! Be opened! Be moved! Be crushed! God, witholding being Just out of grasp, Do something! Kiss or kill But move me!... I place my hand out. Lead me! I stop, thus. Lead me! Lead me! © Brother Antonius
