The Assumption of Abe Lincoln: 2 Haikus

Fan my arms and fly,
tailcoat springing body loose
Shoes and stockings drop

earthward, vanishing
in smoke puffs of coffin train
Now just clouds for me.

The Lincoln Funeral Train, via The Met Museum, NY

Quotes by Jean Huets (?)

“The tarot can put a life situation in images in the same way that journal-writing can bring pattern and order to strong feelings and experiences. The randomness of a tarot reading forces the imagination to look at alternatives,”
― Jean Huets, The Cosmic Tarot book
