Van Gogh and me

Those sunflowers,
Those fields of grains,
That farmer
And that starry starry night,

I think I have memorized them by heart;

That small room with a single window
An impoverished cot,
A quilt with sewing coming out,
Two flattened pillows,

I think I have learnt them by eyes;

Van Gogh

I think I had been someway related to him.
