Van Gogh’s Ambition

My only ambition is a few clods
of earth, some sprouting wheat, maybe
an olive grove. A liquid landscape
where light pulses like blood
and wind returns to its center.

Somewhere I can unfurl my coat
from what it has been holding inside
all winter, dip this drab body
between orchard rows, align my self with dirt.

Where I can enter the darkness
that quiets without closing, that cradles
my head in its warm damp thickening.
