Yellow

Wednesday 10 August 2016





ninety-two by
seventy- three
and the blue steals in
at around
eighty

depending on how
you see it

yellow walls
meant
to kindle the brain
(like in the classroom
where they teach you
how to copy yellow)
but the blue
stays there
with his name against it
and they don’t teach you
how to paint
that

even the heads
still in yellow
but a different yellow
look down at it
in a pure cracked line
as if struck
by its explanation
of their plucked-out
petals
and
their breaking necks

it should have all been blue
but the one thing
you
remember

is the yellow




Inspired by Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers
