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?

Eaglets for Epiphany

I am on egg watch.
M15 and his Lady, paired eagles are nesting now.
Their ancestors birthed
in this same space for generations.
Time echoes for them
in endless loops of instinct,
of Earth and nature.
I measure the angles of my life
by a string, a prayer,
and a memory I haven't yet named.
There will be eaglets by Epiphany.
Another birth in a clock time
I do not comprehend.
