Tarot

a game of patience 1937 by meredith frampton

shuffle the deck
slip slide down
within a salt scattered circle
carefully placed bloodstone
then tigers eye
set the tone
through the air of stale smoke
embassy blue
and crunching mints
my future turns
and tilts
with the emperor
the fool and the three of cups
daylight fades to shimmer
the knave of wands and temperance arrive
i throw the salt over my shoulder
before the devil and the ten of swords
gatecrash the pack
darkness descends to a single candle
i shun the tower and hermit
rose and geranium filter through the window
willingly i embrace the moon and stars
my patience rewarded.

Do go and have a look at the other poets work here

Alice on the walls.

fusty bedroom filled with trash

paint on the floor 

and 

jars filled with ash

Bowie on repeat and Alice on the walls

remembering days 

as our good times rolled

late morning sleep ins

the house is empty

gate crashing losers

getting it on plenty

Bowie on repeat and Alice on the walls

feeling the world at our feet

as rainbows soared

out in the night

past the owls and the horse

stumbling through hay barns

as the music roared 

Bowie on repeat and Alice on the walls

pitch black fumbling
ripped lace then nothing at all.
