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?

Skippy

I didn't set a place for you
at my dumb supper on Samhain.
I didn't put your favorite treats
in your shiny bowl.
My other beloved dead
had their places of honor.
But that night
you bounded in anyway.
I heard your scratching
and felt your sighs.
I should have known
that out here on the fringes
all our loved ones
are sometimes, not human.
Next year, bring the cat.
