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

an ear not a necessity
to hear music of spheres
an entire palette irrelevant

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
