NaPoWriMo 2021 Day Five -- Poem - Place

Place Where I Could GoJim Hovendick a.k.a. Jimmiehov

Of all the places I could go  would be France, St. Remy, Provence 
I'd see again haunts of Van Gogh It would be the Olive Gardens within a walk to his sickroom, call it that; sanatorium I’ve been there before, Olive Grove— 
the view below outside his room.
There a hole, once was a nice ear the one that he'd cut off himself off in an instant , then regretsbarking dogs ate it as it was,entered, admitted his own self.Asked them fix his hole and his mind perhaps he'd treat his bod better.

Notes:  1. I used the first letter of each line below from Natalie Shapero's poem (below), Pennsylvania, to write my poem above with the same first letter as per the NaPoWriMo prompt linked below. 2. I took "Poet's Liberty", I doubt the dogs ate his cut off ear, not soon at least.

Other children, when I was a child,would at times invoke the inner light—I misunderstood.I thought it meant God scorcheswithin us, and God, like a torch,can go out. That was so long ago.I’ve since ceased my believing in death—there’s no such thing.There’s only a kind of brownout,the whole of the globe turningoff for a moment, then shudderingback, the same as it was,except one person short.And then before long, an utter newperson is born. Somebody worse.

I would return to the Australian rainforests ... this one resonates with me, Jim.
