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?

Underwater

When I was a girl
at the local pool
we tried to talk underwater
pretending we were mermaids.
Mostly we got mouthfuls of chlorine.
I tried this in the ocean
and mostly got mouthfuls of saline.
Communication is fraught with misunderstanding.
The talking heads say nothing.
I've decided to be a merrow, a selkie, a nereid
and just be silent
underwater.
