Van Gogh's Bed Poem by Jane Flanders
Van Gogh's Bed
is orange,
like Cinderella's coach, like
the sun when he looked it
straight in the eye.
is narrow, he sleeps alone,
tossing between two pillows,
while it carried him
bumpily to the ball.
is clumsy,
but friendly. A peasant
built the frame; and old wife beat
the mattress till it rose like meringue.
is empty,
morning light pours in
like wine, melody, fragrance,
the memory of happiness.
''the memory of happiness'' pity that Van Gogh was a tormented soul..
