I miss you but not to grasp threads of what used to be for my past is in my reach they said it’s happening too fast but it really happened too slowly the drips of pain denied before they could be expressed like picking currants out of a Chelsea bun the battle within only we could fight sugarcoating my thoughts until we ran out of sugar and I lost my grip had enough we had enough of it but I knew you understood that it wasn’t goodbye never goodbye
Welcome to you rich Autumn days, Ere comes the cold, leaf-picking wind; When golden stocks are seen in fields, All standing arm-in-arm entwined; And gallons of sweet cider seen On trees in apples red and green.
With mellow pears that cheat our teeth, Which melt that tongues may suck them in; With blue-black damsons, yellow plums, Now sweet and soft from stone to skin; And woodnuts rich, to make us go Into the loneliest lanes we know

‘Pentimento’ brings the satisfying sense of a career coming full circle. The subject is the painter Morris Graves, who frequently sat for Cunnigham. He appears in a part fantasy, part natural setting and is seen only from his unclothed torso upwards. A contemplative gaze tilt in the direction of his extended right arm suggests he is in a silent forest pool
