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?

For Andy on Mother's Day

You are my sunshine,
the first song I taught you.
We would sing in the car
though we never sang
the sad, second verse.
I sing it now
at the adult dementia day stay
where I work.
We sing the sad, second verse.
Someday, I imagine
you and I will sing it again, together
along that long, bumpy road
to old age and beyond.
