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?

Ode to February

We are all ruins here
though no dramatic changes
or revolutions afoot.
Just a slow burn through February.
The power elites ignore our voices
that echo from these mean streets.
In time, all bodies crumble and fade.
Still, our unheroic acts keep things
better then they might have been.
Here in February
I hear only the voices
of my friends.
