Impasto, after Van Gogh
The Poem You signed the form in a shaking hand,
trusting the ones who wore the white.
They read a shadow as a storm
and cut the shore to spare the tide.
Now you trace the seam at night,
a map to a country that was never sick.
Three hundred rooms of the same quiet
where sorry arrives too late to keep.
