Two facing deer and heart silhouette

Black and grey · Flash

The image shows two deer heads in solid black silhouette, facing each other with branching antlers at the top. The linework is bold and curved with sharp tapering points, and the lower outlines of the two heads meet to form an open heart shape. It is a flat, single-colour design on a plain white background with no shading.

Dear Morag, the bucks came down to the harbour wall again last night, the two of them, and stood facing each other on the slipway like men waiting for the same ferry. You'd have laughed. The big one carries a rack like a wrecked trawler's rigging, all hooks and spikes, and the young one has only two clean tines, but neither will give an inch.

Mr Pringle from the chandlery says they've been at it since September, snorting and shouldering over the same doe, who sensibly took the coast road to Cullen. I told him the doe had the right idea. He said I'd been reading too many romances from the library, which is true, though I can't see the harm in it.

This morning I went down early with the flour sacks and found the slip empty, but the wet sand still held their prints. Where they had stood nose to nose, the tide had come up and smoothed everything except a shape left in the weed: two heads leaning in, their lower lines meeting in a point like a heart cut from slate. I stood there with the sacks getting heavy and thought of you across the water, and of how neither of us ever gave an inch either.

I'm enclosing the photograph Donal took with his good camera so you can see for yourself. Come home at Christmas if you can. The boats are all in and the harbour is quiet enough to hear the deer if you listen, and I'd like you to listen with me. Your loving sister, Eilidh.
