Van Gough

touch me sky... as you touched him
 spiraled cathedrals of twirling color
eyes dare not see.... in voices
the deaf drag in silence... screeming
there pears in the mud.

Van Gough heard them cry...
his sacred fingers to feel the knife
that slung his spirit to those stars
and(............. i,   * ** *
 can only hope to      look...
following in a painting      bright.
                               less
