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?

Election Jitters

The amygdala is a tiny brain part
that controls fear, anxiety, loathing,
emotions chained directly to our hearts.

This election season with traumas floating
the Constitution, freedom, dDemocracy
has people of good faith worrying.

Tricks, dirty deeds, and conspiracy theories
multiply in the air, bad bacteria.
My amygdala is overwrought, weary.

I will cast a spell on my amygdala
to dampen, tamp down, and quiet this drama.
