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?

Silence

Did you know that silence can burn?
Do you feel it,
that rustle of air against your skin,
those lengthening shadows
building an altar around you,
your legacy scars
prickling with healing.
In the presence of mine enemies
I am silent
shunning the malevolent gleam
in their gaze.
No mercy.
Go silent for a moment
or a century.
Feel the burn.
