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?

Silence

Scientists say
in two hours of silence
mice can regenerate neurons.
At night, with two hours of silence
under the runway of the Milky Way
I strain to hear
the light balls of stars,
and the floating notes
of poinciana and magnolia blossoms.
There is no true silence here,
wind rustle, frog bustle.
My spirit remembers,
Ave Maria, gracia plenar.
Deep in my hippocampus
I hear my rodent synapses returning.

Prompt: In silence, what is the most prominent sound you hear.
