I peer inside <br />Van Gogh's <br /> <br />little red lacquer box <br /> <br />full of nothing <br />but <br /> <br />a jumble <br />of wools <br /> <br />odd balls <br />of it <br /> <br />yellow & blue <br />wrestle together <br /> <br />orange & yellow <br />sneaking in & out <br />of themselves. <br /> <br />A simple tool <br />studying the interaction <br /> <br />of how colours <br />seek each other out <br /> <br />compliment the other <br />or have a row. <br /> <br />Touching in its <br />simplicity <br /> <br />the myth <br />of him <br /> <br />becoming ordinary <br /> <br />man again.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/little-red-lacquer-box/
