Men Die Miserably Every Day
from "Asphodel, That Greeny Flower"
My heart rouses
thinking to bring you news
of something
that concerns you
and concerns many men. 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.
********
"so much depends"
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
