I pull a card...if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it was meant 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?  |
Death Maidens I watch the death maidens in the trees white I sit in my car at the pharmacy pick-up line. A venue of vultures, perching. When they feed it is a wake, crushed bones, skulls, guts. Nature's clean up crew. They can, they will, they do. Are they really unclean, ugly carrion or necessary sanitation workers? I pick up my allotment of Big Pharma and thank the death maidens and modern science. I breathe, I listen looking for peace with the radio on. I can, I will, I do. 18 lines Prompt: things you notice while waiting for something Dark Goddess Tarot--Hag of Air--Dhumavati--Hindu Widow Goddess--What appears unlucky becomes something sacred. |

And I absolutely love getting a glimpse into how people's minds & inspiration work - who'd've thought you'd end up with a lovely piece about a bird from a picture of a restaurant 
This is the type of free verse that in my opinion suits Shadows & Light.
