Cypress (May)

Cypresses, 1889

Visiting Van Gogh. Once you’ve found that thing that works, you’ll keep doing it for as long as it works. Is there such a thing as a false start? Everything’s a way forward, a way around, a way out. Then that thing that happens, take it as far as it will go, wherever it may go. Formality, that’s as is. Rules, wherever they may serve a purpose, throw out surprises. But this isn’t Van Gogh, it’s you. Van Gogh is a line of silken flags in Melbourne streets. Sad cypress. Mad cypress. Trad cypress. Rad cypress. Bad cypress. Glad cypress.
