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.
