Wheel of Fortune

NaPoWriMo 2018--Day 7

Saturday

Crows came to the soccer fields this morning
looking to snatch some crackers or Cheetos.
Both of the boy's teams won today.
They clanged after the birds
scattering them back to the trees.
At eleven and thirteen they never notice
small, kind miracles.

This is not a day for asking questions
not a day on any calendar.

It is my husband's birthday.
At home tonight
there will be cake,candles, and wine.

I will gift him
a heap of ash from the wildfires,
a found black feather
and a winnowing basket
emptied of grain.

The bold lines are from a Rumi poem.

Dark Goddess Tarot---Hag of Air--Dhumavati--claim a weakness as a badge of courage.
