An Affinity For Yellow
and Vincent, the Artist applies on the canvas
a black stroke here and a black stroke there
before the crows disperse and disappear
he steps back to observe but his mind
is uneasy his affinity for the bright color yellow
is enhancing his depressive manic state
and he must strive for completion
before it’s too late for his art and his soul
will be lost to his inevitable fate
but the Van Gogh legend must carry on
that he must fall and rise again
to seek out the night and to paint the stars
