My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

I pull a card...if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it was meant for you?

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?

Ah... childhood. A long long time ago. But I still stop to smell the peonies. The mock orange is in full bloom and today the skies are friendly.

I forget if I don't take the time.

I really like this. Strong images, especially:

vestments = seaweed
liturgy = whale song
commandments = guided drift (although I read it as 'gilded')

Unsolicited advice: cut the use of 'the' and 'are' and 'will'.

At the end I'd read it as "water's life. / water. is. life."

The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
In my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried

I grew up with the song but didn't remember the second verse.

These days I understand it too well.

I arrive in Taipei on the 14th. V-day did not go well last year. I have much to learn.

This is a wonderful love poem.

Me at 72 10/19/1951
I have only Just begun
Your words bleed to me
in ways I understand
corals grow so slowly
like brotherhood of man
I a three-time empty nester
Now.. I am free to play
and those visions of
tomorrows, are
no longer in my way.

I refuse to say
amerikka is beautiful, or magical.
The plains and purple mountains weep.
The cradle of democracy
rocks no more
splintered by amoral judges
and felonious politicians.
This once glorious and holy land
besmirched by greed.

Happy 4th of July
burns to ash
on my tongue.
there is no magic
to be found here.
