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?

Friend

She sends me pressed flowers
folded in tissue
for no reason at all.
Crazy yellow, purple pansies,
and violets from our holy earth.
Golden spirals of logarithmic growth
like the arms of galaxies
and hurricane bands.
And so our friendship moves
inward, outward,
forward and back
never ceasing.
The sigh of saints
rasping for breath.
I pay the petals forward.

for Anthony Bourdain

I hope you are
drinking in Heaven,
slurping noodles,
eating meat fried in lard.
Maman Brigitte will help you cross.
She is jolly and fun,
a lover of bones.
Like you she likes spiced rum,
does not suffer fools gladly.
You have traveled
to the depths of parts unknown.
I wish you had taken
the road not traveled.
