EMPTY  CANVAS

 
Propped up on a wooded easel
was an empty canvas – the size
of a regular window in a house.
 
Asked by models, buyers, family,
down through the years, he said
it was for my masterpiece someday.
 
When he died at 67, the empty canvas
still was empty and Van Gogh asked
for that empty canvas and the next day ….
