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?

Terroir

Wine experts say
they can taste terroir
the minerality, the alkalinity
of the soil.
I can feel terroir,
the tender pelts of mosses
growing in the cracks,
the rough cavity in the hollow
of a scrub oak.
There are legions
in this forest,
bundled ancestors
I feel under my feet.
I can trace my breath
along the clouds.
The Wheel of Life turns.
