' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' Little Red Lacquer Box
I peer inside
Van Gogh's
little red lacquer box
full of nothing
but
a jumble
of wools
odd balls
of it
yellow & blue
wrestle together
orange & yellow
sneaking in & out
of themselves.
A simple tool
studying the interaction
of how colours
seek each other out
compliment the other
or have a row.
Touching in its
simplicity
the myth
of him
becoming ordinary
man again.
