SIBYLLOGY: Life inside the Saussurean Bar.

“His mother had often said, When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action. She had emphasized the corollary of this axiom even more vehemently: when you desired a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it.” Lois McMaster Bujold, Memory

The Lateness of the Hour

I come to our conversation late
my dear, and in chains —
spinning memories below the wall
of half-forgotten, half-overheard promises.

I reflect on
the last days of spring on
 — emotionality —
before the core of your program
relaxes, releases, rewrites
the never-final revision
of our story
all over again.

This, this:
no-one you know.
