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?

Mysteries of the Night

The embers in the grate fade
to a glimmer.
I pray to be dreamed
by something larger than myself.
Kali-Ma arrives,
wild. ferocious, dipped in blood.
In this moment,
I sing to the Beloved,
to the mysteries of the night.
Ma, make me strong.
Ma, make me fearless.
Ma, keep me free,
Ma, may I not faint from sorrow.
I keep the Mary light burning.

There once was a President Musk
that caused us to scream WTF.
He has fourteen kids
all ego and id.
Let's immolate a cybertruck.

Sign Me Up

Sign me up
for the great human HOWL.
The secret is out.
We will dance in the rain,
twist and shout,
shatter glass ceilings,
organize flash mobs,
pollinate our dreams.
We will huddle
in tightly knit clans,
shred our threadbare habits,
drum till the earth shakes.
Sign me up for the HOWL.

Violets for Her Furs

I asked Divine Mother,
in this burning, fractured world,
"What should I do,
where should I go?'.
STAY, she said.
I will stay
for spring's wildflowers
in Florida's fields, wetlands.
I think she will like best
the tiny common blue violet
so moist and low to the ground.
I will stay
and wrap Our Mother
in violets.

prompt: anticipating spring

No oracle card--violets are gentle and healing--Violets for Her furs is an old jazz song.
