Van Gogh's Whore
'When I said I wanted your ear
I didn't mean in this way.'
Did I run in fear?
what did I say?
'Vinny-I just wanted you to listen'
You think that a man with such doubled vision
with Sunbursts for sunflowers
and skies that twist and swirl
Would understand metaphor
from such a 'common' girl
And he had given me his ear-
to show he held me most dear.
Was it in a box-tied neatly with a bow?
Or was it handed to me so plain?
These things you will never know.
Because I am just a footnote in the story.
And footnotes have no name-
They have no paths to glory.
And for that, what's more
It doesn't matter, that I'm a whore.
But know this, by far
I DID ignite
The brightest star,
in the Starry Night.
