Small scorpio zodiac symbol on the inner wrist

Fine line · Hand · Black and grey · Photo

A small, single black glyph resembling the scorpio zodiac symbol sits on the inner wrist, with a thin, even line weight. The hand is held up with the palm facing the camera, and the dark background keeps the focus on the wrist. The tattoo is in black ink only, with the skin tone and dark nail polish providing the only other colour.

Dear Ruth,

Keep reading

The Palais has been shut since Tuesday, the chandelier bulbs pulled down and wrapped in brown paper like something being put away for winter. Mr Okafor, who keeps the books, says the council will sell the floor by spring, but I have told him the boards will still be humming under whoever buys them. You always said I was too sentimental about wood.

I found the card you left in the piano stool. Your handwriting was on it, the dates underlined twice, and a little drawing of that crooked-tailed sign in the margin, the one you swore was the only honest thing about you. Thirty-one years of partners who wanted to lead, and you were the only one who ever stopped mid-foxtrot to tell me my weight was on the wrong foot.

Remember the night the sprinkler failed and we tangoed in the lobby with our shoes in our hands? The others went home. You kept time on the radiator and said a sting is only a sting if you keep moving past it. I think about that more than I should.

Come Saturday. I will play the old waltz slow, the one with the sting in its last bar, and if the floor still holds we can dance it once more before the men with clipboards arrive.

Yours in rhythm, Edie
