Tarot ho!

buried at the bottom

of the grave isn't

the body of her husband

but the widow weeps still


deep within the earth

rests a ship within

a glass bottle sealed

in wax sealed in soil


crystal sings from glass

that encases the sails

as three cards are pulled

hermit, magician, fool


the crystal cracks as

earth rises and winds blow

and from the sea is seen

a smile from a not so strange stranger
