Asphodel Madness: January 2010
http://asphodelmadness.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 31, 2010. Hear the clank of feet on wood planks. Hear my steps like the bad seed clapping her shoes. God’s lightning never comes. But the ship’s whistle does. And parts us from the pier. Even crossed arms can not defeat wet cold. Salt lies stiff in hair,. Takes in my clammy hands. Like a lover I never could keep. I tremble, not from cold. Nor from this ship which caught a whale’s rumble-. It was the anxiety of lost childhood. Speaking clear in my ear. Heavenly tones ringing the call.

Asphodel Madness: July 2010
http://asphodelmadness.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. When your eyes were turned away. When your black eyes were turned away. And looking far off. Is when you lost me,. In the thick darkness. And the wild sounds. Lost in the places of fires. And slow trains and imaginary things. Left by indistinguishable stings. When your eyes were lost. And turned blankly away. Dancing, ripped apart, dancing in margins. On the edge of the blade. And fire spitters…. The no sorrow, no regrets, never turning back maniacs. When you turned your eyes away.

Asphodel Madness: Artist's Son
http://asphodelmadness.blogspot.com/2010/08/artists-son.html
Sunday, August 29, 2010. The artists are dandelions:. There are so many of them. God called my mother. And told her she was. Better than all the other. Till they chopped off her head,. And she drank it up,. Became a member of society:. But not before she born me. And I'm still a seed. Flipping in the breeze. Past the wanted flowers,. One of the few artists. Who's still got a head. But the mower is always. And who knows where. This wind will carry me? We are all destined to be. Thank god I’m a poet.

Asphodel Madness: February 2010
http://asphodelmadness.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 28, 2010. The Heart as a Geometric Shape. Since what pushes us out into the world. Can’t pull us back in, I’m envious. Of how our daughter is drawn to you. Einstein said, “gravity is the result of. The curvature of space-time geometry.”. He also said, “gravity can not be responsible. For people falling in love.”. For months post surgery, when I couldn’t lift her,. You placed her in my arms after she fell asleep,. So I could marvel over the world we created. Unless something goes wrong.

Asphodel Madness: May 2010
http://asphodelmadness.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. There is no prison bar. So strong as what your. Father taught you,. Told you, ingrained. In your mind. There is no. Than what your mother. Misled you to believe. And beat into your heart. The land is an evil barren. Prison you can only work,. Work and work in for nothing. There is no crime, no punished. With such suffering as this. But somewhere, hidden in. Safe hold of the soul. There is a key that unlocks. This latitude of lies and. Lets you escape to the. World is waiting for your.

Not in body bags. First day out with my. New leg and I think I’m. Hot stuff, don’t know it’s. Thing and I twist on. A bar stool and my. Leg spits and flings. Itself out, yanks a. Man’s arm and throws it. Across the floor. He. Gave me a funny look. Then once one foot. I looked to be. Forward at the same. Time and a kid.

Asphodel Madness: March 2010

Friday, March 26, 2010. By Justin Wade Thompson. Her tits hanging out. Boy scout blue and. No respect for her. Some fag boys were singing. I went home and cried. Warm beer and a stain. On my pants the next day. To keep the patrons staring. In the grocery store. Where i ate cactus. And bananas with my rice. Last time my dad sat across from. Me screaming about Texas politics. And the end of the world. I don't know anymore. Lies parade the news and magazine stands,. The wine bottles, the cat pills,. Couldn&...
