vincent

troubled,

he was, brilliant too,

painting

landscapes and haystacks

in his muddled

but effective way.

but the ear thing,

cutting it off for unrequited

love, that threw

me for a loop.

i've been heart broken before,

but not like that.

i never once thought

to grab a knife

and hack something off.

i just moved on,

got my rolodex out

and started

calling, starting with

the A's first.
