No grip in blue

© Van Gogh, letter 643



let your hand - white perhaps it doesn't matter
write, and draw pictures of
the men of Twombly for instance,

insisting on - maybe
this is a request
or two -

so don't finish the dance
inside, nor swallow the stones
on your restless tongue, jump

and let your hand spell each word
to create a chair or even bed for god
and his spirit, a picture

of this bright guilty world, as
Orson didn't think
but said
