"This is a sorry culture, babe. You have to make your own."
--Alice Notley, "A Bitter Treason"
A sorry culture and I must return to the homeland
absorb the vibe-a-rations where the sky is right
I am somewhat comfortable
with the semiology of Brooklyn
(stomach flips sideways writing that)
somewhat more comfortable with how the sky fits
the land in North Carolina or even Kansas
and the roads through the what is the word
want to say roughage, but it is . . .
want to say verbiage
roads fit through the I'll just say trees and grasses
Pick a card
I'm thinking High Priestess
but I dig out the old mass market paperback and turn
to Death When you see this card think of:
CHANGE, REBIRTH, RENEWAL
Mastering the Tarot: Basic Lessons in an Ancient, Mystic Art
by Eden Gray, pub. 1971
same year I was conceived in North Carolina and born in Kansas
or, wait, I guess I was conceived in 1970
a small burning
a small bun in
or just, Hi, I am here to steal your tarot book later
