The wild self sits in the familiar hollow at your back while something unmet faces it from clear across the room. Lilith, the Black Moon at the lunar apogee, the exiled self, faces the south node, the lunar point of the well-worn past you are meant to set down, across the axis. The defiance you know by heart keeps staring down the call to leave its old ground. Some days you sink into the familiar snarl because its shape fits your mouth, some days everything ahead pulls at you to drop it. You move honestly only by keeping the old wildness and the road away from it turned toward each other across that gap, neither one talked over.
