THE WEAVE:
…Persephone’s phone
rings. She answers in
the Holly tree…
"So I have a concern,"
Lilith crackles on
the other end. "Since When
are you concerned about
anything?" Persephone wonders.
"Since you decided it
might be a good
idea to Live, in a Forgetting
place," Lilith tells her.
"The mysteries whisper
in the hallWays..."
Persephone drifts
from many leagues
below the surface.
"Persephone," Lilith hopes
to explain, "tHere is this
thing that happens,
When you enter
into Fae Lands..." "What's that?"
Sephy questions. Lilith sighs,
"If you come out, you come out...
Changed."
"It is my Destiny
to Change!" Persephone sings,
"The body Lights.
The body leads.
'The body will
tell you clear as Day-"
"-what Way it wants
to move.' Yes, yes,
I know the Dr.'s tune,"
Lilith dominates, "Listen.
I am not telling you
not to be tHere. I am
telling you about this
thing that happens, When
you enter into Fae
Lands..." "Well out
with it," Persephone hisses.
Lilith sucks in breath,
holds it, then lets it
loose, "You lose
track of When
you are. You hold
stories, like the wyrd
of a spiraling web.
Not all who wander,
make it back- and truly
tHere is no back at all-
except, for The Back
and Back, that goes..."
Now Lilith, too, begins
to trail. Persephone
snaps her fingers
into the receiving
end. What's your point
caller?" Persephone prompts
her. "No point," Lilith
shrugs, "It is only
a concern."
LILITH HANGS UP.
