Postcard

Graham Sutherland on holiday with Peter Watson, John Craxton and Kathleen Sutherland

Three petals on white
Camouflage in shadow
Greens with blacks

Entrance to a lane
The picnic hamper is somewhere other
Of the gesture yawned at
By the overlapping seas
Waving in the settling sun

Who is to say
Let things come to rest
Or who is to say
Let things come otherwise
