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?

Pendulum

I though I wanted ecstasy
but that was not to be.
I wanted joy
a toy
of mind.
Let me be kind
Small pleasures day and night,
and now I settle for delight.

Ecclesia

Toss the robes and incense
forget the aves and amens,
give me a feral church
an ecclesia of black madonna mad womyn.
Our vestments are seaweed
our liturgy whale song
our commandments guided drift.
We will pilgrimage
to Saintes-Maries-de-LaMer
and place St. SaraKali on our dashboards.
We will honor all water divinities
in exultations of song and dance.
Water is life.
Water is life.

Prompt: a woman lying face up by the seashore.

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.

Prompt--Sun

Dreams

At night you must read
a bedtime story.
How else will your dreams
know where to begin?
You'll want a tale
laden with shiny creatures
perhaps a scatter of shadows.
Find a fable with forests,
angels and dragons,
river stones that can sing.
Come up from your sleep
gasping for more.

Prompt: dreams

Angelology

How many angels can dance on a pin.
Have you entertained angels unaware,
Can angels help with our sorrows and care?
I ask, are there break dancing seraphim
or hip-hop and loud rapping cherubim.
Do they hear and answer our prayers.
help us to carry what we cannot bear.
Where do I and the universe begin?

Jacob wrestled with an angel, both lost.
St. Mary answered yes to Gabriel.
Metatron rules the heavenly host.
I'd rather believe in angels than not.,
a mysterious world and magickal.
My highest , my best, my uttermost.
