xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxA DECK OF CARDSX
X
I open the Enchanted Deck,
revealing
The Key To The Kingdom.
Touch the top card,
turn it over
to glimpse the nine of Red Hearts.
x
Love is here right now.
x
The back of the cards,
in black and white,
show a lady spider
eating her mate.
x
I shuffle fifty-two widows,
fan them out.
You choose three
to find your fate.
x
A man who is King of Spades,
loves music and power,
will shower you with offerings.
x
The young man called Jumping Jack,
The Red Heart,
has to be careful
not to burn himself out.
But being of fire himself,
he will always rekindle.
x
Queen of Hearts,
here you are at last,
your beauty ever rising.
x
Wisdom floats around you
like the white feathers of your soul.
