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
