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?

South Moon Under (for Marjorie Kinan Rawlings)


I was two when you died,
a child in Pittsburgh
then a dirty, smoky steel city.

I walk today in the cypress swamp
and think of you.

The forest floor may break
beneath us both.

But the moon will still rise
above the hammocks
and the spoonbills will rise
on rosy wings
to their homes.

I will write
and I will hear you sigh.
We all belong
to the secrecy of the seed.
