Twelve Sunflowers in a Vase

 twelve of us he choose to paint
    sons of Jacob in an earthen 
jar so sturdy
plonked us with vehemence
directed by neuronal cells 
skull protecting scrambled 
delicacy
              managed by eyes
emitting fire spark piercings
fingers reading poverty
boats
          ruin
                   blossoms

rebellion against Self or self
                                           both
resisting his own yellow hoped breath           
choosing shades of Sun 
                                Earth

pictorial for future time  
seeing death as life
          momentary figurines 
clutching
                judging 
as we are to be interpreted 
sitting on table where we 
urinate in twelve streams 
filling an ocean within
earthen walls
                s
                  Hore cupped 
observing 
w a i t i n g  

complete 
twelve zodiac signs
    t w e l v e  months in  y e a r S
of aloneness
    EcsTacy
suffering 
feverishly mirroring
    he held truth to tell those 
licking label 
‘INSANE’ - 

an ear not a necessity 
to hear music of spheres
an entire palette irrelevant 
Love lives in ONE stroke or one        
                                            brush   
a single vulnerable Heart 

like his women we stand erect 
or bending captured

             plucked
                            yet    f r
                                     EE

devouring ~ this for him

unknowingly illustrious 

last sips of yellowed life 
from cradling container
colour bright into L
                                ighT 
proceeding mellow
  sad
        wilting        strong
all at once 
 each on solitary journey          
                              towards  
                              GRAVE 
 
communal
  joyfully having drunk from one 
two toned signatured ampulla
         a lacy ‘V’ announcing  
         falling of masculinity and 
femininity into an undying 
point of exquisite 
                            EXTREMES
tenderly strong 
touching despairing depths

life surrendering to death embraced 
stating we live for eternity 
through two lenses
clearer than crystal dew
from which we gReW 

ran  m i l e s  from his 
irretrievable sanity
               locked him 
barred was a genius true
as we now take our leave
  with few leaves
signalling his enlightenment 
beyond time

born within grids breeding 
chaos to come
         then depart
elliptical petal loops
     veined Hearts pure
             untouchable
we stand for Vincent’s Truth

as insight preparation 
a struggle to individuate
we present ourselves to you  
separate 
singing singular 
                         SONGS 
sadly seraphic
                         yet in unison
simultaneously skewed and balanced 

some sunray petals like claws
                        a last clutch at LiFE
futile requests for another 
chance fighting
                 giving colour UrGenT
stable we hold one another 
son with father
mother and daughter 

 like him
             as you 
we                       m
                                  o
                               V
                                  e 
from liquid onto  
                           squ
                           are
                      matrixed 

bearing seed to germinate 
futuristically
         promised again 
when bi-polar will be emBraced
                             as alignment
in galleries you stand
                                      sTaRe
manufacturing words like
                   ekphrasis
