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?

Alleyways

I grew up in a row house
with alleys in the backyards connecting houses
We used the alleyways for hide n seek,
they were always full of children's laughter.
They have alleys in Palestine,
do the children still play hide n seek?
Does the bougainvillea still climb to the sky,
are all the alleyways char and ash?
In Gaza do the veiled women gather
in alleyways to keen and grieve?
Are their cries muffled
by the sounds of war?
Is the only noise in the alleyway
silence?
