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?

Do Whales Pray?

It was just a typo that read,
"I have a rosary from Whales",
I thanked her for spellcheck
and tumbled down that rabbit hole.
Whales wouldn't pray like us
but with their songs
clicking and whirring.
Spiders dream, dolphins have accents.
We are one teetering, entangled,
endless thread
dangling
by prayer.
