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?

Marrow

Bones are not hollow
but filled with marrow.
I scrub these beef bones
and roast
a shimmer of olive oil
a glitter of sea salt
then spoon the unctuous center
unto crusty bread
more oil, dipping spices
a red wine
that's still under the radar.
The Barefoot Contessa
has nothing on me.
