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?

Zenith

The Zenith tea room is my spot
for a book club of strong women,
a restaurant and antique store.

Old madonnas and sacred hearts
line the shelves, kitsch is a given.
The vegan cuisine we adore.

A monthly meeting set aside
for poetry and politics.
We aim to kill all doom and gloom.

Not for us prejudice and pride,
we have outgrown close-minded cliques,
at the funky Zenith tea room.

There is an actual Zenith Tea Room in Pittsburgh, PA. I visited many years ago but do not live there now.
