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?

Time Lines

My lines,
they are ley lines,
crooked, they are not straight.
Labyrinths are coiled and kinked.
Two steps forward, one back,
Circular time
is now.

Three Tiny Happy Things

1. Today is National Unfriend Day.
Yesterday I Googled you
and learned you passed in April.
2. Last night I dreamed of you.
You unfriended me years ago
3. but here you are vibrating
the strings of my space time.
Politics divided us.
Now, we walk in spirit.
We exist in a web of relations
that ripples outwards
into the intimate ocean of time.
I pray you have found your heaven.
You are what you have abandoned.

Eaglets for Epiphany

I am on egg watch.
M15 and his Lady, paired eagles are nesting now.
Their ancestors birthed
in this same space for generations.
Time echoes for them
in endless loops of instinct,
of Earth and nature.
I measure the angles of my life
by a string, a prayer,
and a memory I haven't yet named.
There will be eaglets by Epiphany.
Another birth in a clock time
I do not comprehend.

prompt: a poem about birds

Heretic Coffee

His (trump) greed is infinite
and cruelty is the point,
injustice is raison d'etre.
Can our words, faith, ideas,
and strength defeat him
and help us escape this plague?
Empathy is not a zero sum game.
Come in unity and have a coffee with me,
we will dream
we will remember together,
perhaps we will pray.
What didn't I do?
What didn't you do?
What will we do?

14 lines
prompt: none--but at least 12 lines

Tarot of the Crone--VIII--Justice--Know your responsibility and you will know yourself. Weave a web of justice.
