(written after the My Prayers poem but i forgot to upload it)

***********

i consulted the Tarot today
i spoke to it with respect

i pulled a card for myself
but all i saw was you
on your knees in the woods
two swords on your back
not bowed down
not begging
waiting beside an oak

i stopped before asking it more
i don’t want terrible answers about anyone
there are none
but i felt i might cheat on your behalf
and change the cards in your favour
and that revealed my heart
