THE MATH: (Venus + Aries) SEXTILE (Mercury + Gemini) = to receive my own rejection
THE WEAVE:
…Mercury speaks…
"A good Friend is
like a salve, on an Open wound.
Knowing how deeply
she can poke you
before you scream,
she doesn't jab
her fingers into you.
She shows you the label,
'May I offer this
reflection to you?'
I alWays brace mySelves
to receive my own rejection
sensitivity, when Venus
proffers me a honeyed
insight. The enemy
in the benevolent
teacher. Ambrosia
cut from the comb
with a hot-knife. We watch it
ooze, out of its cubicles.
'Thank you, for sharing
that,' I say, as I
bleed out the nectar
in my veins. Venus
isn't scared of me, but
she doesn't push me either.
She lets me drip, knowing
her work is done.
'You're welcome,' she grins,
as she licks her fingers."
