I'm where the sunflowers turn... Vincent wake up!, look at me... I can taste the paint!!!... That's not paint, it's blood, you shot yourself in the chest... Theo, come walk with me... J.A.B. This poem is dedicated to Vincent Van Gogh, a man who lived to master his craft and to give new beauty to the world. I give thanks to the art scholar W.H. Auden who wrote, Van Gogh A Self Portrait Letters Revealing His Life As A Painter, and the art scholars Ingo F. Walther and Rainer Metzger whom wrote, Vincent Van Gogh The Complete Paintings. I began composing this poem on October 17th, and through the Grace of Providence finished it on October 23rd, 2018 at 10:08 pm. I put approximately 21 hours of intellectual labor into this composition...Justin A. Bordner
