As Read in the Cards

Four of Wands, The Devil, Two of Swords, The Moon, Nine of Cups, Temperance, Ace of Swords, Queen of Cups

An Evil Eye,

To protect from dread,

A tarot spread,

The Broken Heart connects with threads,

A plotline’s end,

Where the good guys die and the bad guys win,

The 4 chords,

So many songs at my disposal,

A cracking and popping vinyl record,

At San Quentin or Folsom Prison?

A brand new piercing,

Ouch, my head,

My Antik skates,

Stitched just for me in Red Wing, MN,

A saddle coated by Neat’s Foot

Seeping in to bend and flex

The dally of a rope,

5 seconds flat,

And a sturdy little mare to call my own,

Called from the pastures of the place I call home.
