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?

A Column of Saints

Things you didn't see
were there all along,
helping hands, people past,
ancestors and ancients all the way down.
Our dead aren't done.
They live in our bones, marrrow,
strings of DNA.
They murmur the prayers
that we forgot.
Listen for the words
that make your heart sing.
Remember to look
for the things you didn't see.
