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?

Father's Day

He doesn't know it's Fathers Day
or that I am "the daughter".
There is a lacuna
in the place where I should be.
I pour Cointreau in our teacups
for courage and pull up
Charlie Haden's Song of the Whales
on my phone.
His shelves and tables
are littered with driftwood and shells
from shores he has known.
I hand him a rough, weathered totem
and ask, "Can you show me how the water moves?'.
Slowly, cautiously he moves the talisman:
Up, down, circles, spirals,
a figure eight for eternity
For this Sunday
driftwood and whale song
is the medicine we need.
