**@tarotsmyth** What’s your favorite tarot card?

**@tarotsmyth** What’s your favorite tarot card?Recently I set out to redraw every tarot card of the Rider Waite Smith deck and finished the Wands so far, and have just started on Cups. Follow @tarotsmyth to see the whole collection and read small poems dedicated to each card meaning. Eventually I would like to color these and make a real deck.

There is a lump Of garbled communications The pa

There is a lump
Of garbled communications
The parties are formed
In a cocreative eristic escalation
The battle of the dilettantes

Melting down

The ego and the Grand Poobah have both gotten so fat they can no longer inhabit the same elephant

Can you paint loneliness?
If you can eat your feelings then why not?

Normalcy may already have
Become latter day normalcy
The odd have taken on a conformist bent

Narcissus is the patron saint of Millenials

Go over to a bookshelf in your house and look at a shiny sexy book just sitting there. Think about what it took. Crack an egg in a glass and drink it down like Rocky Balboa and then sit down in front of the computer and slap your face until you begin to write. See how that feels.

He mellowed out between sessions

Trying to Kill the lizard brain, beating the amygdala to a fucking pulp just to get some work done

Just breathe

Be yourself or die
We live in a glut of media, with everything having been said

Ad nauseam infinitum

No one worships the lingam any longer; the stupas have crumbled to the ground

You can’t be looking too hard for it — Compor

You can’t be looking too hard for it —

Comports with intractable
Subverts untraceable
Fuel for fears
Gives poor diagnoses

Runs afoul
Fouls afield
Only on dead days

Pours into urn
Rains teeth
Never compromises

Careens terribly squealing
It’s wheels
Crashing screaming
Breaking consciousnesses
Hurting

And when will
The wanting
Stop

I wanted to feel important As interiority could be

I wanted to feel important
As interiority
could be, but out here
Aloft or encompassing
One must choose

The mold of a face
It’s this thing I do
Crying into pillows
Being all austere won’t help you

Where a writer writing
Like a cat, crawled into
A hole worn in the floorboards
Between the floor of one place
And the ceiling of the one under
If it can get worse, will it?

The abyss turned out to be full
Of glowing colors like the coral reef
But young pouty faces, heavy lidded
With a little too much makeup
A futile beauty
Using it for anything they could squeeze
Out of it
While there was still time

Didion said they were sloughing off the past
And the future at the same time
Then that means I was a foregone conclusion
Picasso never once came to America

The sight of meat reacting to being cut open
Rippling electrically
Muscle memory rapidly contracts, extruding the grain
It reminds me of the Giant’s Causeway
In Scotland
I’m enjoying my brain

Sometimes when we meet someone new
Its like deciding to have an acid trip
Or go bungee jumping.

And when their brains, deer, man, cat, sheep, porcine, were laid printing steam on the stainless steel plates of the scales, the simplest weight had removed to the drawing room, and out somewhere, and never need return to their prior vehicles, but recycled that missing ounce, trickled down into subsequent children.

The Vision Quest of the King! Consolidation of e

The Vision Quest of the King!

Consolidation of elementals’ power, enough golems to form a parliament.

Scales, feathers, hair and skin, enough sense to quell the din.

Fathers have felled the foes of their sons but fail to save them from their sin.

A longer battle must be fought, weaker wars were waged ne’er win.

It’s an Economical Frisson of Elements Happy to

It’s an Economical Frisson of Elements

Happy to face the grimy indignation
Happy to face pain, it's made me much more stoic
Happy to see the lines form

In my face
In the pathways of poesia
In familial position

The Troubles
The struggle for interdependence
The strife of the many beats at the walls of the aorta

Red faced, the kids wail at their lives
Red roses are crushed by the dirt
Red letter days ahead

We love suffering and we love to suffer
We romanticize every tear that drops
We spin and spin and spin until we all fall down

The rabbit hole
The dreary gray days and crumbling walkways
The wonderful spiral

In the eighth of an inch black hole that nothing escapes
In your eye that looks to the stars
In a single ever expanding second

It’s beautiful and perfect
It's an economical frisson of elements
It's everything and nothing all at once, isnt it?

Happy to see you go
Happy to see myself go so slow
Happy to die and never know
