Take the playing cards—do you’re feeling them?
The futures but conceived?
In your fingers, the cardboard backs arch and
shiver, and questions whispers weave.
The shuffle purrs like a lover, unfold
in positions so that you can learn.
The playing cards slip on meanings like a robe,
a strap-on, lucite heels, a lead.
Should you learn them, it have to be queerly, sideways,
upside-down, and deep certainly.
You need to court docket them from the margins, cruise
the again door, open to obtain.
They are going to information you to pierce fact with internal imaginative and prescient,
quite than outer eyes that so deceive.
They are going to educate you to flag the indicators and indicators,
to sing the wordless language just some can learn.

Look, the playing cards naked their faces for you,
so that you could be really see:
Your coronary heart is a Cup overflowing, your thoughts
a Sword that seeks a sheath.
Your physique shouldn’t be a Coin however is spherical and worthy,
full with pleasures whole-conceived.
Your need is a dowsing rod of throbbing heartbeats,
a Magic Wand, a residing department, a seed.
See: right here you might be mirrored in your entire homosexual magnificence,
beloved to your true self, ne’er denied your secret wants.

Tarot was as soon as a sport and have become divine,
a transition of centuries.
It’s smart in methods of trans-formation,
change, and metamorphoses.
The playing cards will ease you thru your individual changing into
and principally all you’ll want
is that this queer pack of tarot playing cards
and a bit of self-belief.
