Four of Pentacles:
The sea wanted out,
but the dam kept her in.
Drop by drop,
counting her waves.
Drop by drop,
her darkening eyes.
As she pushed,
and pushed,

he remaindered to concrete,
and she freed to the sky.
He was broken.
She was blind.

Five of Pentacles:
He tripped over coins in the dark.
Up the stairs,
to his bench,
crossing the bar.

Six of Pentacles:
He pressed a hand
to each of their verses.
Some bore poetry.
Others, passion.
Many, a gray luck.

They weighed their scales.
He pressed them with
cups of flowers.

Seven of Pentacles:
I rested from my work,
building pillars out of sand,
to finish a new castle
in dreams among my pillow.

Eight of Pentacles:
Keep forming steps
by twin lanterns' light.

Nine of Pentacles:
She bid me to drink
the light of her mirror.
I felt the same.

a welcomed sight
to these dusty Dark-eyes

I'm glad you hadn't forgotten Mike
these
readings
given to
the self
of the self
and by the self
unearthed as it is unheavened

Brian, no need to get sentimental. Thanks, dude.

Wranx, yep, still writin' 'em. Just slower and slower-like.
