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?

Hymn IV--Blue Madonna

This picture, my totem,
my touchstone
a Blue Madonna
pensive, serene,
surely before the crucifixion.
My holy child, at forty-five
baptized this Good Friday.
Mama Mary and I wait
for a takeover
of hope in the world.
Away with flashy facades
and the low despots
that hold and wield
the power of destruction.
I wait for a celebration
of the heart.
The Great Mother and I
hold close
all the world's holy children.
