Judgment:
Is that an angel or a sword
floating in sky's river?
Meeting terminus
at its origin.
And so begins
the cloud's new end.

The World:
The woman with wands
eats her mints,
one with the shape
of her legs
and her body,
moving to rhythm,
the rhyme of this,
onward inward,
the spell of that.

To finish her dance;
become a new fool.
To find a new river
in float and unspool.

Ace of Cups:
Oh, her lips,
were two silent drops
of tears in my eyes,
mingled with wine
of scent and slow touch,
the form of her breath,
draught from her cup;
what I hoped on this night
would find and keep us.

Two of Cups:
She is a mirror of my star,
and I a mirror of hers.
Collect reflections to portray
more than one alone.
And if all be right,
if pure is light,
the panes will not crack,
my rain of night.

Three of Cups:
My friends! My friends!
Lift your cups high!
Drink the clear sky!
Oh yes, the sun.

We frolic in song,
even sung wrong,
and find a new light
in sight of new dawn.

My friends! My friends!
Lift your cups high!
Our hopes gone so high.
Together we'll die.

So string a new song.
We cannot last long.
Togetherness nigh,
lift them up high!

Four of Cups:
Leaning against a tree,
a cup there full of stones.

If stone is black, take her back.
If stone is white, remember light.
If stone is gray, a brand new day
will find you and her there, in sway.

Five of Cups:
You kicked them over so ago
that they have become shadows.
Lift the remants, sift the dirt,
and see if she is there in shallows.

Six of Cups:
One gave off sunflowers,
a scent of something secret, close.
One provided orchids,
their fragile forms a mouth of rose.
One remembered Aster,
the star that fell and colored sea.
One, an old disaster
that made mirror blooms out of me.
One sang of soft cinnamon,
within those ferns I drank her sweat.
One more gave me tulips
so I could kiss her with regret.

The World in Judgement, whilst in his Cups.

More than a "nice read" squirrel dude. You should be proud of these.

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

Thank you, wranx.
I guess the timing of this
is more fitting than I thought.

Thank you, brian.
Now I have that awful "geet geet geet"
in my head.
And ...
the reason this is coming along nicely,
while Diastonene waits in the aisles?
The plot has already been written for me.

smiling at you---again...

sisters three
in joyous dance
in spite of life
they dared a chance
to raise the cups
in toast of bliss
this three of cups
is sisters kiss...

Just thought I'd share that'n...chuckle...
