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?

Frosty

The closest we come to snow
in Naples are fake flurries
on Third Street South at Christmas.
And I have waited in line
for the kids to plunge
into machine made white in Golden Gate.
In January on Sanibel, the feathers
of white pelicans on southern hiatus,
egrets, herons,and other pond scoggins
turn the palms into a blanc mange.
I shake my plastic snow globe
bought at the Dollar Tree
and conjure frosty dreams.
