on days I felt like
an asylum housing
a mentally ill,
I named myself
Saint Paul de Mausole,
asked my age old
Van Gogh
to paint purple
'Irises' blooming in
my garden
and eternalize my
despair on hundred
and thirty canvases.

on days I felt like a
poor crow flying in
uncertain directions ,
I made myself believe
that I am one of those
crows that
Gogh painted over
windlaced 'Wheatfield'
during the last weeks
of his life.

on days I felt like a
suicide note, I named
myself ' Almond
Blossoms ' ;
all white and hopeful,
that lonely Gogh
painted to gift his
newborn nephew.

and on all the days
I felt too ordinary
and worthless
I convinced myself
that I am a portion
of Art.
