"HER WICKED PACK OF CARDS" (*) |
My
tarot card
Was drawn.
Obsessed with Time
I
ran
Towards you.
To find you
And save you
From the
carnivorous
Shells.
The Moon
Was Watching
And when I
drank
The sea water
It whispered:
"You had the mind
Of
the Fool.
They will devour you
From the inside."
I
nodded
And smiled
The smile
Of the inverted Devil.
~A
(*):
Echoing Eliot's line in "The Wasteland", "Madame
Sosostris had a wicked pack of cards" the poem refers to popular
tarot cards (the Moon, the Devil, the Fool/ Hanged Man) and their
relevant meanings, but only superficially.
