THE WEAVE:

“Mercury, baby,” Arachne quips,

“pass the mic.” He drops it,

and walks off stage.

...ARACHNE SPEAKS...

"We can learn

what stories we are
keeping.  We play

with them.  We rearrange
them.  Knowing more

about them, inviting them
closer in.  We make

peace that we are
in relationship with pain,

and so with pleasure.
We come home slowly

to our bodies, and begin
to stop betraying

the Earth in ourSelves."
