I have just seen the Restless ep with the audio commentarie from Joss.
The painting or tatoo Willow was writing on Tara's back is a poem.
He said that the poem was from Sapho, but didn't say which one.
Do you know it?
Sapho lived in Lesbos with women, and her poems were abou women and women's love. The term Lesbian came from Lesbos.
It was cool that Willow was writing that.
 
What Willow writes on Tara's back in the dream sequence is actually the ancient Greek Lesbian poetess Sappho's fragment the first, which roughly translates as "Immortal Aphrodite of the broidered throne, daughter of Zeus, weaver of wiles, I pray thee break not my spirit with anguish and distress, O Queen. But come hither, if ever before thou didst hear my voice afar...".
