Two Aces & a King
by
Heather Prudence Davis
A hand passing me
a star through the clouds,
offering pure contentment
felicity, ecstasy.
As usual
it sounds too good to be true,
feels too good to be real.
A second hand issues creation,
invention, birth, family, origin.
The beginning of enterprises.
Money, Fortune, Inheritance.
Yet up ahead
lies a stout cloud of judgement
brimming with power, command, law
and militant intelligence.
(That isn't what I had in mind.)
My head is spinning.
Now I'm confused.
But soon,
I will know.
