My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

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?

Rust Never Sleeps

Rust never sleeps
but marches on
as inexorable as time.
Will my titanium knees melt
when I am cremated?
Perhaps the grandkids will
bury them,like an afterthought placenta.
Marcescent leaves cling
to the hornbeam trees through winter.
They will fall when spring buds push through
and carrion crows announce
Persephone's eternal return to Earth.


Author's Note: I took the title and opening line from a company in Fort Myers, FL that deals in architectural salvage.

Tarot of the Crone---Beast of Swords---take a higher view--look at all the available paths.
