“I often think that the night is more alive and more richly
colored than the day.” –Vincent Van Gogh
I painted Tuesday with stars hoping
Van Gogh would woo the iris
to rise from their winter melancholy.
***
or night without sun?
Van Gogh’s brush
paints sunflowers
on the cheeks of the moon.
***
The sky fell in starlight strokes
of Van Gogh.
Like a child chasing butterflies
I collected wishes on the tip
of my brush to paint joy
in my valley of sorrow.
