'Scot painter, more' timothy r gates, 11/03/2007
'you want to touch it, don't you?'
i was within inches of his Cypresses,
museum would've screamed.
left this world doing what he loved,
paint brush against canvas,
oil overfilled, hardly holding on,
he let go;
i bet he's laughing with
Van Gogh.
more real than real
more true than true
truth?
Antje Duvekot,
she sings,
'when you goina come for me, lord?'
visceral silence
screams.
Issa helps me
remember to feel.
Van Gogh.
more real than real
more true than true
truth?
suffering, a gift
suffering, why?
suffering, transient
suffering, alleviate.
touched by a cool breeze,
i smile.
damn,
now i'm laughing with them.
