"After the bath we watched television and went to sleep. When I woke up he had already left the loft. He had left me a note that said, I remember it perfectly, 'Venus, morning glory, sweet potato. I have the money and you have the gold. JMB'.

Later I saw those words 'morning glory and sweet potato' in a painting of his, Eroica I, one of his last paintings. On that same painting he had also written 'a man dies' four times".

Nostalgia for a time I never lived. "Widow Basquiat. A Love Story" - beautiful, heartbreaking, and everything in between. Loved it.

Bisou bisou, Jo
