Hope For Something Unpopular

Van Gogh's expressionism
did not offer him anything

only one painting during
his lifetime was sold

no one liked it
because he was not a follower of anybody

it was only after so many years
after his death

that his sunflowers begin to be noticed
midway between insanity and spirituality
