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?

Stars

It's not a fever dream
but stray shrapnel
of a daydream.
It's the dust of stars
pouring out
a joyous rap chorus.
These chill far-flung galaxies
shatter my chains of anxiety.
I hover this night
beneath the twinkling
between doubt and certainty
into the riverine flow
of everything.

Prompt: stars

Caviar and sour cream

and hard boiled egg
just for me.
Mine!

Passion

I saw the Grim Reaper once
reflected in a mirror
across from my patient's bed.
My patient passed a moment later
and his pet cockatiels began to sing.
His passion was birds.

I keep my Christmas tree
up year round always adding
new ornaments.
When I pass it will go out
feet first with me.
People will say,
"she had a passion for Christmas",
In truth, I am lazy
and it was a hassle
to put up and take down.
There will not be bird song.

Prompt: passion

Kitten

Cats are edgy
flows of smoke
and fluid becomings.
Catholic cat lady St. Gertrude
waits in eternity
for her messiah.
Mine, is here at home
with softly kneading paws
a fuzzy body of thrumming purrs.
This picture of contentment
is a kitten with a message,
"Just now, just now, meow."

Prompt: cat

Pholarchos Tarot---Queen of Spirals--Give in to pleasure.
