Chance: Six More From a Tarot

55

Curved timber
cruck, arms of wood
meeting at the center:
a holding in or out.

56

Flowering
storm, larger
than the compass
of an archipelago.

57

Briefest brush
of mouth to ear or chin:
one leaf to tell of how
I’ve missed you.

58

Rooster crowing
in the yard: a caravan,
our caravan of ragged
belongings!

59

Hands and mouths
to help us empty
storehouses filled
with grain and sound.

60

In the barn
I found a book
held open: a planet
with one rose.
