Black fine line cursive script tattoo running down the outer upper arm of a person whose back and shoulder are also visible.

Cursive script tattoo on upper arm

Lettering · Upper arm · Black and grey · Photo

A close view of a person's back and upper arm, with a black halter-neck top on the left. A thin black cursive script line runs down the outer upper arm, with the words too small and soft to read clearly at this size. The ink is a single dark tone on warm skin, set against a blurred pale background.

Dear Marguerite, the ferry was cancelled again, so I am writing this on the back of a timetable at the Harwich terminal, with a biro that keeps skipping. Your mother would have laughed at me. She always said my capitals looked like fishhooks.

The man beside me is selling tea from a flask to anyone who will look at him. He says the boat leaves at six, same as it did yesterday. I bought two cups and gave one to a girl with a rucksack who had been crying into her sleeve. She wouldn't tell me where she was going, only that the name on her ticket had one letter too many and nobody at the desk would fix it.

I am not going to Bordeaux after all. I have decided the house can wait until spring, and the flat can go to whoever wants it. What I want is to see the sea from the wrong side, the way you did when you were small and insisted the lighthouse was walking away from us.

Keep the coat I left on the hook. The lining is torn but it is warm. If the boat goes tonight I will write from the other side, and if it doesn't, you will know I stayed to finish the line about the lighthouse, the one I could never get to sit straight on the page.
