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

Art

SunTzu wrote "The Art of War".
There is no art in war
no dark beauty
in ashes of olive trees
no gifts in debris.
The blood of innocents
floods the streets.
Survivors fashion coffins
of boxes.
Houses simmer with the secrets
of smoldering hate.
Mothers raise their arms
to heaven
and chant an ancient refrain:
Make art, not war.

Prompt: Art
