24: Tarot
Pg.
132 from Elsewhere, Vol 3, from the story The Lady of the House of
Love, by Angela Carter
There
is something about the Fool
as
he wanders off the cliffs edge
wondering
and in awe
that
draws me in
I
find him frequently on my journey
The
Empress and Emperor
sit
on either side of me
Fire
and Water
Earth
and Air
they
show me my oppposites
and
the importance of each
And
I've learned from the cards
that
reversals
don't
always mean ill fortune
just
a mirror image of what you percieve
Each
of their faces
a
facet of my voices
speaking
my subconcious truth
through
story
They
are the ancient ones
walking
hand in hand with humanity
since
our magnificent brains
sensed
deep
down
a
soul
So
here in my pack
I
carry them with me
lay
out a spread
What
do you wish to reknow?
