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?

Rosary

My youngest grandchild is six today.
Meanwhile stormtroopers are ripping rosaries
from the hands of small children.
When I was a child, my mother
lulled us to sleep with "Hail Mary's"
on AM radio.
I am a bad Catholic.
When in pain and doubt
that happens more often
as I grow old
I still murmur aves
to that holy woman.
I pray that her healing mantle
covers all the little ones.
I will say
a cosmic rosary.

Tarot of the Saints--XVIII--Mother Mary--Grace, love, forgiveness
