VAN GOGH

Played with paints
Feeding life

And cut an ear
To brush the love

An easel
To the stretched canvas

Vastness stooping
In looping thoughts

The brother Theo
Beloved of the medium

Impressionist par-excellence
Doth take a chance

His penury
Was a penny yesterday

Got an auction price
Bribing tomorrow

Many a souls
Lay buried

Who will take a message
"Fetching the life price"!
