DIVINATIONS ANOINTMENTS AND CHANTS

 

LIVING CHARMS

amulets are hung

over thresholds

swan like necks

rear view mirrors

haruspicy 

and

bones and beans 

and dice

and the cards

of madams called sosostris

or others

receive messages

and 

ordain auras 

to unfold

future and ancient

lives and fates

not named

clotho 

lachesis

or atropos

And

we

amidst

all alchemy 

and enchantment

unawares

pass our days

with inhuman illogic

and

all human rules and laws

thinking

and

feeling

occasional love

and

frequent hate
