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?

HOME

Weaving my own wings
I wend my way home
not to a place
but a portal
of magickal birds
and a gift of air.
I undo the twist of rope
around my neck,
call in the nightingale's song.
Ravens spring from my tears,
prayer flags unfurl,
I am ready to fly.

Brave New World--apologies to Aldous Huxley

We will be brave
embrace our pain
cry and shine
stray from the crafty line
that only humans matter.
We will escape the trap
of the anthropocene
settle in the cracks
of slime molds, fungi, leopards.
We will watch our worries
sparkling anxieties
drain away.
We will trim AI to a nubbin.

Poetry Week


poems are made by fools like me
storytellers create potions
on the road fashioned out of dreams
out of time and mind solutions
and fostering revolutions
conjoining heart and head and hand
an ascending absolution
raise your voice, sing loud, take a stand

Form: Huitain

I dreamed a fantasy bird
six feet long
dropping three perfect white feathers
woke with one on my pillow

Christmas/Yule in July

New gods are born in the cracks and crevices,
not the shallows where the light gets in.
So a spell for Yule of damp, dim words.
I believe in the night, even as the light returns.
Mother Night split me, make me twitch with pain and joy.
I answer your call to my shattered mind.
I will hold your gaze for as long as I dare.

Ten Again

A black hole
invaded my brain,
my body became a child's.

Molecules
of hearing in red,
the paraterranean.

Young again,
open potentials,
a soundtrack of politics.

Anarchy, a perfect solution.
Young and old meld in Divine union.

Form: Troiseme
