I was swimming in the sea off of Cap Ferrat

When I spotted a topless woman on a beach

Yet it was not her nudity that attracted me

But her tattoos of which there were many

Most were pretty ordinary but the one

On her lower back greatly unnerved me

As it was my likeness as a young man

When I asked her about the tattoo

She explained that it was that of her husband

Who had recently perished in one of her dreams
