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?

Papers

I was a timid girl
and didn't like dolls
but soothed my fears
with books and paper.
In the scrap bins
of a printing shop
was a sea of color
free to carry home.
And there I made stars,
and cities and farms
nestled in imagined hills.
I wrote endless lists
of future things
to gaze upon.
