Cauldron Anthology Issue 9: They Who Were Spurned cauldron9finalproof | Page 22
Matron of Divination
Alliso n A r m st r o ng
The moon is a lantern
to scry by
casting her light
across my empty bed
Polyamoury means scheduling
conflicts
teaching
myself to relish
a night alone
I’d rather have a lover
sweet once-a-week
distraction
reminder
that this lonely body is luscious
Instead this
late night tarot cards
read by moonlight
nine of swords
six of cups
longing and loneliness
the dream of chosen family
tarot magic is flipping
the script
turning over the whole deck
choosing the three of cups
my own adventure
