THE CARDS OF THE TAROT DECK
-
Miriam Sagan (U.S.A.)
The
cards of the tarot deck
are transparent
to the inner eye
that is, even dealt facedown
we should be able to see
which image is which
and differentiate
the Hanged Man
who sways head first
suspended, but not
in pain—
from The Lovers
who might be
represented by
a pair of swans
or any two things
that want to be together forever
and drink a potion from a cup
although how
am I to read my fortune
when both these cards turn up?
