Tableaux
(on Van Gogh)
by Sam
Vaknin
- Listening to a
scarlet sink, detached
- an ear, still
glistening wax,
- in bloody conch.
- The gaping flesh.
- Wild scattered eyes
- fiercing the mirror.
- Light ricochets from
trembling blade
- (it's gaslight
evening and the breeze ...)
- Behind his stooping
shoulders,
- a painted room ablaze
- the dripping
composition of his blood.
- The winding crowd
- inflates the curtains
inwards,
- sails of a flying
Dutchman.
