THE WEAVE:
Saturn calls Lilith,
regarding the Karma
of her most recent grave-robbing…
"Lilith, it has been brought to my attention that you desecrated a grave," Saturn jumps right in, wasting no Time. "Not just any grave, Time-Daddy, Lucifer's grave," Lilith rounds it out, with a flourish. "Society locks people up for shit like that, Lilibean," Saturn patronizes. "Maybe society persecuting me, and not Lucifer, is part of the problem, Saturn." "Listen, Lilith, I know you don't like me..." Saturn begins. There is a long pause, "Go on," Lilith prods. "I'd like to offer you containment," Saturn proposes. "You're off to a creepy start of it, Saturn," Lilith responds. "Seriously, Lilith, I get it. It wasn't fair. But, you're wild, and society has rules, if you want to be a part of it." "I don't though." "Stop lying," Saturn turns sharp. "Is this how you seduced Uranus, before you smothered him with your 'protect and serve' dogma?" Lilith meets him, "What's in it for you, Saturn? A spy, on the inside of the enemy camp?" "Why do you look for betrayal, Lilith?" "Why do you never answer honest questions, Saturn?" Betrayal is all I have been offered, and I do not know how to play chess." "At least let me teach you that," Saturn asks. "I find it boring to play a set list of the same moves over and over again, thinking a lifetime of positions ahead." "Have you ever considered, that is why you are behind?" Saturn challenges. "The Master stays behind, that is why she is ahead." "I don't think that is what Lao Tzu meant." "I don't really give a fuck what you think," Lilith snaps. "So you don't want to be friends?" Saturn asks. "You can keep calling," Lilith shrugs, "if you want to, but you have not earned my trust. And to be clear, I am not under the rulership of your thinly veiled imprisonment." "Fine, acquaintances, then,' Saturn relents. "TTYL, Time-Daddy," Lilith says. "What?" "Talk to you later, Saturn." LILITH HANGS UP.
