When she lies in front of me with my hand between her legs then I start to understand the calligrapher. The artist writer. The curves and lines, thickening and thinning. Through the most gentle pressure to pushing harder, up and up waiting and then sliding down the other side of the letter. Perhaps cupping at the bottom. The end of a g or a y. At the top you can dot your i. The calligrapher who expertly holds what is between his hands. His crazy endeavour to tantalise the eye. To lead it as if one followed the movement of the clouds passing each other in the sky. In a dim light, late at night, a body lying flat with legs just narrowly parted and my words all over her, like tatoos.
