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?

Bridges

I'll cross that bridge
when I come to it.
Well, I have come to it.
Good fences make good neighbors
and good bridges make good crossings.
I am moving from this life
into the next
uncertain what I'll find there.
I have joined the dull woman's club
and my bucket list is small.
All I want for now
is to sit and feel the sun on my face.

Gateway

I do not know
if there is a gateway to the afterlife.
After you passed
I bought earrings
engraved with your thumbprint.
When I lay down
in a field of wild grass
I hear you whisper.
I am with you
in your memories.
Love is all that matters.

And that is gateway enough.

Lost

I know lost things
for I am broken now
untethered and fractured somehow
with shattered wings.

What are my rights?
I burst with empty words
like fledgling new born baby birds
afraid to rise.

A star winked out
the day of your passing.
Memories are everlasting
I dream, I shout.

There once was a dunce named Trump
He was a low class chump
who though he looked like Elvis
cause of all the fat around his pelvis.
He had a golden toilet for his dump.

Jill is beginning to make her transition from this world to the next. Many birds outside today---one I'd never seen---a Carolina chickadee. I know she represents Jill's spirit and I will look for chickadee in the coming days.
