Wanderlust script with arrow and blue planet

Fine line · Mixed · Flash

A pen drawing on white paper of the word Wanderlust in flowing cursive script, with a vertical arrow running down beside the final letters. A small blue watercolour planet with a thin ring sits on the arrow shaft near the top, with a second arrowhead at the top of the shaft. The linework is thin and black, and the blue colour is limited to the planet, which is shaded with lighter spots.

Dear Tomasz, the ferry from Harwich was cancelled again, so I am writing from the Pelican Hotel on the quay at Esbjerg, where the radiators knock like someone wanting to be let in. Mum said you would not read anything longer than a postcard, so I bought one with a lighthouse on it and I am using both sides.

Your arrow is still in the biscuit tin under the stairs. I found it while looking for the spare key. The little blue ball on the shaft, the one with the ring round it, you told me was the Earth seen from the moon on a bad day. I thought you were being daft. Now I think the ring was meant as a fence, and you were drawing the places you were not allowed to go.

The purser here says there is a boat on Thursday if the wind drops. I have a cabin booked under your name, because I could not bear to sit in the bar alone with my own thoughts. Leave the back door off the latch. If I get home before you, I will hang the arrow on the hook by the bread bin, pointing the way you always said it pointed, which was anywhere but here.
