A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Marguerite had been grafting the old Bramley trees since the first week of August, and by the last Saturday of the month her thumbs were split from the wax. Her brother Tom sat on an upturned crate at the end of the row, tying raffia into short loops while she worked the knife. "Tighter," she said. "If it slips, the sap never meets." He pulled the knot until the twine bit into his palm and said nothing.

The scion was a Cox cut from the north wall, pencil-thin, its buds still closed and green. She fitted it against the understock where the bark had been peeled back to the pale wet layer beneath, pressed the two wounds together and bound them. Their father had taught her that a graft holds only where green meets green. In the margin of the orchard ledger he had once drawn the idea for her: two rings overlapping, a heart pinched at its top, and a loop running through it with no start and no finish.

"Dad would have liked that you kept his book," Tom said. "He would have hated the wax on the east side."

She laughed, and the sound carried over the windfalls where the wasps were already drunk on fallen sugar. She pressed the last strip of raffia flat with her thumb, then stood and looked along the row at the trees they had planted the year they were born. One branch on the oldest tree had never been cut. She reached up, took the knife to it, and watched the first drop of sap rise on the wound, clear as dew, waiting for the new wood to answer.
