How to Read the Tarot

Begin by brewing a cup of tea,
a nervine, lemon balm or chamomile,
this is after all, your future.
A reading at the dark of the moon is best,
before the night creatures crawl
and bad humours fill the air.
Pick a circular deck, with a fairy-tale motif,
and no reversals.
Hold a question in your heart,
shuffle the cards and place them on the table.
Choose only two.
Like the ancient Israelites,
these are your seer stones, Urim and Thumimm,
black and white, yes or no.
Isn't that all you were asking?

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.

NaPoWriMo day 6–
🐥 ducklings
I like watching the Muscovy ducklings
Like all species babies they are soft and wideeyed.
Vulnerable.
The adult ducks are ugly and a nuisance in Florida.
Just a reminder that not all of us become swans.
