Asphodel


Asphodel, The Greeny Flower



Excerpt



                Look at                              

what passes for the new.

You will not find it there but in

               despised poems.

                  It is difficult

to get the news from poems

               yet men die miserably every day

                        for lack

of what is found there.

               Hear me out

                 for I too am concerned

and every man

        who wants to die at peace in his bed

                       besides.

Asphodel comes in many colors
