Potato Eaters Or De Aaldappeliters

hands bony and coarse
honestly earned bread 
labour on earth
no  crime no corruption 
elementary
fingers knuckle out to obtain 
large platter of boiled potatoes 
pouring the cold brew  
intense faces rapt attention/
/ vibrancy layered with dark-
ness /soft gentle lines windows spread to eternity
weathered table rafter boards rectangular columns
oiled lamp throwing light on the expressive faces
failed in its life time adored now  
poor artist rest in peace
