THE WEAVE:
Moonie finds a secret,
scrawled in Vesta’s handwriting.
She reads it to Chiron…
"I do not write
to be read.
Mine, is not
a Destiny, in
the spotLight.
Do not be
mistaken. Do
not assume you
know me, just because
once I tried
to let you. For you,
Life moves like Flame.
For me, it is
an underWater
dream. When you knew
me, I did not
care to be famous.
I revealed mySelves,
to you, to resolve
a happening, long buried
in my psyche. You
could clearly see it,
and deLighted
in sticking fingers
in the wound.
And now I write,
because a writer is
what I am. With fewer
eyes on me, I say more
of what I mean.
And now you read,
because you cannot
control yourSelves,
though your witness
I no longer crave.
Some day you will die,
and never
read my words again.
But what is not
already dead about you?
You are a Love, never
given. You are a Heart
without mercy,
whether you stop
reading me, or not."
