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?

TeaRose

I like to wear TeaRose.
Mild, creamy, soapy,velvety.
Mother Mary and Grandmother Anne
would approve.
It smells of MayDay shrines
and rosepetal jam.
You can find it at WalMart.
It goes to kindergarten graduations
and BFF's 70th birthday celebrations
like a strand of Barbara Bush pearls.
When I am gone
and there is an odor of roses
remember me and the tearoses.

Blue Madonna

Dolci's Blue Madonna
sits at my desk
eyes downcast, a silent banshee
holding ancient knowledge
potent and deep.
When I cannot sleep
I come to sit with her.
Our unmasked fears,
unnumbered sorrows
rise like grey mist
in the night.
We both stay silent
and remain with our pain.

Ave Maria

Dolci's Blue Madonna
sits at my desk
eyes downcast, a silent banshee
holding ancient knowledge
potent and deep.
When I cannot sleep
I come to sit with her.
Our unmasked fears,
unnumbered sorrows
rise like grey mist
in the night.
We both stay silent
and remain with our pain.
