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?

Apple

Eve's apple
was likely a pomegranate
juicy, fleshy, seedy
but patriarchy wrote this story
for it's own benefit.
Lilith was Adam's first wife
but too fierce and defiant
men made her into a demon.
I like to imagine
Lilith and Eve
hand in hand
crude, curious, impudent
pomegranate juice
dripping down their faces,
no mealy, wormy apple
for them.
