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?

Six Mile Cypress Slough

Only yards from the highway
the slough is silent
save for the tinkle
of the Buddha bell
on my walking stick.
The stick is hickory,
non-native, like me.
The air is green, ozonic.
Feral pigs and kingfishers
hide here.
Sacred space, sacred time
float down
on all sides.
No less a cathedral than Chartres
no votives, no hymns
only Grandmother Cypress
whispering in the wind.
