Planetary Signatures

THE WEAVE:

Mercury calls Vesta

from the front desk

of the Library. She doesn’t

pick up, so he leaves her

a voicemail…

"V!  I know
you're living on your own

Time, or whatever, but
it's Library season,

for me, anyWay.
And I've forgotten everything

to remember, again.
I don't know anything

about the Dewey
Decimal System,

or wHere All of Lilith's
toilet-bowl books

belong...
Come home."
