The tattoo shows the words Let it be followed by an ellipsis in a flowing cursive script, with a small bird silhouette at the right end.

I stood there with the phone against my ear and the rain drumming on the tin roof, and I opened my mouth to shout, then didn't. A small dark bird dropped onto the wet rail beside the buckets, shook itself once, and looked at me as though it had no opinion whatsoever about lilies.

I put the phone down. I sold Mrs Okafor her white roses at the price she'd been paying for years, and when I looked back up, the bird was still there, tail flicking, waiting for nothing in particular.
