Tarot...

Glass ball rotates in gypsy hands

Fortunes told of master plans

yet darkness looms behind the cloak

Untruths in words she never spoke

 

Laughter crackles from hollow holes

Sights unseen in distinctive roles

Light appears then dims to shade

The jagged edge of a lovers blade

 

She twists the cards and they reveal

The saddened loss of last appeals

Hangman, Magus, Prince of wands

Shackles tied in tireless bonds

 

Blatant hurt from heathen cry

Today I choose the time to die

Credence blurts it last farewell

The journey begins out of hell....
