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?

Womyn


We
began as an egg
carried in a dark warm womb
all our grandmothers singing stories
to all the eggs we carry within from birth
trembling prophets, whispered prayers
along life's zigzag road
moon mind dreams
all connected
by ancient
threads



Author's note: Concrete poem----supposed to be egg shaped. Couldn't figure how to do that.

Dandelions

I fashioned a garland
of dandelions
placed it on my altar
to the Queen of Heaven.
She prefers weeds to pearls
but sees perfection in both.
In time the flowers will vanish
scattering my prayers with their seeds.
I have named
the turtles in our pond
and the tiny fish they feed on.
Perhaps, it is all prayer.

Dance

Emma Goldman said
she wouldn't join a revolution
if she couldn't dance.
I am done with revolutions
and the heavy lifting.
I want to dance with mountains
gambol with rivers
frolic with trees.
Not an Elaine of Seinfeld dance
but one into the void.
A curling of spine
a vast gasp of breath.
Anyway, there is nothing to do now.
so, let's begin.

I refuse to say
amerikka is beautiful, or magical.
The plains and purple mountains weep.
The cradle of democracy
rocks no more
splintered by amoral judges
and felonious politicians.
This once glorious and holy land
besmirched by greed.

Happy 4th of July
burns to ash
on my tongue.
there is no magic
to be found here.
