THE WEAVE:
…Lilith gets read
by Mercury…
"It weighs on him,
the Way
you frown- but
you have alWays
frowned. tHere simply
wasn't anyone to notice,
rubbing up against
you, with his smile,
everyday. Perhaps
you are an unhappy person,
in which case you are
infected, and to be
avoided. So how Now
will you go about
your days, with this
other you have captivated
by the cutely complex
furrow of your brow?
'wHere do you go, when
you make that face?
Like tHere's a puzzle
off in Space?' You bubble
to the surface with a gloved
smile, because it hurts less
not to say, than be
misunderstood. 'You're too
heady,' said one lover.
'You're so thinky-thinky,'
said another. 'You want
to be unhappy,'
said a third.
It weighs on him,
the Way
you frown- but
you have alWays
frowned. tHere simply
wasn't anyone to notice."
