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?

It's International Democracy Day
as ours slides away.
I am not on the fence
about Charlie Kirk,
a man I didn't know
and now recoil at half-mast flags
flying for him.
I finally grasp
that Freedom's tower has fallen.
Liberty slips,
my heart shatters inside my bone cave.
There will never be
a New Eden.
