VAN GOGH'S BED - by Jane Flanders

'Bedroom in Arles' - Vincent Van Gogh  VAN  GOGH'S  BED   by  Jane Flanders is orange, like Cinderella's coach, like the sun when he looked it straight in the eye. is narrow, he sleeps alone, tossing between two pillows,  while it carried him bumpily to the ball. is clumsy, but friendly. A peasant built the frame; and old wife beat the mattress till it rose like meringue. is empty, morning light pours in like wine, melody, fragrance, the memory of happiness.
