Tarot in Seconds

my fingers were beginning
to love that couch

they loved it so heavily
burrowing deep into
the cigarette burn
that scratched against
the underside
of my thigh

i could’ve been banished
to that couch -
to that moment
in time

for two forevers

and loved it thrice holy.

my eyes were beginning
to love that wall

that blue wall
with its paint racing
so anxiously for
the floor bowing
beneath your feet

the porch

the wood
underneath this
couch, with its
pancake cushions
sizzling beneath
the cool points
we were boasting of
in each other

i hadn’t known it then
but i sure know it now

the birds were singing out
my name

while i shuffled
quickly
and threw out
swiftly
the next card
to be played
in the game.

Somethings are hard to stop once you start because you find yourself mesmerized........well penned!

[Dayran]

Timelessness and the random occurence of events, observed and then dismissed for another adventure.

Tarot cards and life. Always can create interesting story. I like the road trip with your words in this poem. A excellent poem.
