Imagine Vincent Van Gogh as a poet as much as he was a painter. Take one of his paintings and bring them to life with words.

Gogh Take Me With You

It exists in the bowels

of his imagination

twisted tree sucked

as through a straw

into luminous sky,

spitting out light

in sparks -

a damsel reaching

for redemption –

stars boil in cauldrons

in heaven’s vault, pleading

Take me, take me, take me

into the majesty of promises!

Celestial bodies

move in ravaged dance

reaching God

with outstretched hands

opening their mouths

to swallow the heavens

cobalt beasts whirling

in the burnished light

Take me, take me, take me
