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?

Touch

Birds everywhere
We are dancing
photons crashing
fastened by touch

Our bodies turn
old in a rush
time's not enough
Yes, skin to skin

Camping

When I was ten, a city girl
I went to day camp
in an urban park.
We built campfires, roasted hotdogs,
strung chokecherry necklaces.
It was still camping.

At seventy, I use walking poles
because of bad hips
to stroll the boardwalk
at a cypress slough.
I sit on a bench for hours
watching turtles and water birds.
It is still camping.

Prompt: Camping
