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?

Joyful

Joyful, joyful
I adore me,
a crone, no longer bleeding,
hormones unfluctuating.
The moon remains
in my bones.
Soon, they will return to earth.
I dance with freedom
and laugh with truth.
I hurtle through
the multiverse
of clanging planets
making music of the spheres.
Not easily fooled,
I am the Fool
wearing feathers in my hair
eager to begin again
tumbling off cliffs.

Trump

They believed
he was a knight
in shining armor.
But he mined
only fool's gold,
a corrupt capitalist
of small hands
and an icy heart.

Skyway

Emaciated
young, black, cardboard in his shoes
invisible man
arms hiding in his hoodie
riding the skyway to hell

Note: This young man was riding the Jacksonville Skyway one evening. I wondered who rocked him as a baby.

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.

We both stay silent

Diana Nyad

I learned today
that my Lady of the Lake
is a #metoo survivor.

Each stroke of
muscled arms through
oceans and rivers
carried her far from
her abuser.

But only
the sweet water of time
could wear down
the hard, cold stone
of betrayel.

Prompt: write a poem about sport.

Silver Anniversary

Love is as simple
as string theory.
Like Meghan and Harry,
supersymmetry between
two fundamentally different particles.
We are gluon and gluino
stuck together
after all these years.
A beam of light
extending in five dimensions,
length, width, breadth,
time and space.
Black holes colliding
and then,
and then,
and then
there is love.

17 lines--Romance genre

Dark Goddess Tarot--IV--The Morrigan--Sovereignity--Never surrender what matters most.
