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?

Reflection

I look at my reflection
in the mirror.
I see the long fade.
No longer a foodie,
nothing tastes the same.
No longer a lover,
sex doesn't delight.
No longer a hiker,
chronic back pain.
But still,
mother, wife, grandma, nurse,
poet, mystic, seeker.
Maybe, a long, slow fade.
