The Stories Tarot Told Me: Third Reading

the moon (reversed)

your shadows linger in the dark 

close to me  

like you are 

 were  

she doesn’t know  

i do now 

red  

eyes  

ears smoke  

planes takin off  

my vodka cran  

her handwritten letter   

we signed at your dinner table


slammed shut

your cold body outside alone 

deep empty heart 

real sorry now


the sun (reversed)

cinnamon sugar cupcakes 

clingin cut lip  

it’ll hurt  

it helps you told me   

you were right   

… again

 

birthstones in a ring  

cuddled christmas brunch  

at the age  

can’t you commit?  

cherished  

buried beneath me  

cherished  

your bluest sapphire 

becoming not enough could run  

but i’ll grow   

stealing you from  

from the mall
