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?

Hymn

Beltane follows close on the heels
of Easter and Passover this year
leading us to the Summer Solstice,
preceded by April's full pink moon.
All through these high holy times
and cross-quarter days
through winter, spring, summer, autumn
I have heard a grim hymn.
It is the banshees keening
for our sanctuary cities disappearing,
dark whispers that our democracy is dead.
Yet still, in this abyss
there is breath, beauty, and light.
And petals falling, falling
from the redbud trees.

Prompt: winter. spring, summer, autumn
