Small butterfly tattoo on the inner wrist

Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

A small butterfly with outstretched wings is tattooed on the inner wrist, drawn in thin dark grey linework with light shading in the wings. The skin is shown in close focus against a blurred background of bare branches and snow. The tattoo is the only ink visible, and the composition is centred on the wrist and the raised hand holding a clear crystal.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Mags, the thaw has finally got into the lane behind the chapel, and I thought you'd want to know before the rooks do. Your father's old beehives are still stacked under the tarp by the wood shed, though I'd leave them be until March. I found the crystal you lost in the spring, the one from the window in the vicar's study, lodged in the moss at the foot of the big ash. It had caught the light and I nearly walked into the ditch looking at it.

I've been meaning to tell you about the moth woman who came through the village on the Tuesday before the snow. She had a pale blue scarf and a tin box of pins, and she wanted to know whether anyone in Ashby still kept a clearing in the wood. Nobody did, so she went up past the old quarry with her box under her arm. Mrs Thorne swears she saw a butterfly the size of a dinner plate settle on the gate after she'd gone, but Mrs Thorne also swears the kettle sings to her, so take that as you like.

What I can tell you for certain is that the frost has gone out of the bramble and the first brown patch is showing on the hill. If you're coming up at Easter, bring the good boots. I'll leave the back door unlatched and the crystal on the sill where the sun gets to it first.

Your loving cousin, Edie
