Sunflowers
by Martin Willitts Jr.
Based on the Van Gogh painting “Sunflowers” he made while waiting for Cezanne to join him
I want to decorate my room with color
from sunflowers that all I can imagine
sharing the arbitrary orange and yellow
I selected from the field of my imagination
placed them on a table
so it’s the first and last thing one sees
when entering or leaving in a hurry
to compel a person to slow down
enjoy the released yellow envelops
from a distance I have not opened
I want to express myself, but I dare not
less my enthusiasm overwhelm you
and my words open as sunflowers
no one should see so much yellow, I think
so I hold back, afraid of having so much love
it makes your cheeks turn orange
so stay a while,
paint with me, let our painting sigh,
let the rooms be yellow mornings
