the key is offered.
the angel of paradox
reveals everything
and nothing.
i confess,
i am useless at riddles,
crosswords, and games
with egg timers.
the key is offered,
i made it that way
but that doesn't mean i get it,
that opening beyond belief.
These were the cards I dealt
the night I was falling
down another hole,
plus that over the top,
melodramatic, Ten of Swords.
Like a dead leaf on a chain
I prepared for The Bardo.
The Hanged Man a rush of blood to the head,
The Priestess higher than I was low,
and a X of blades in the back.
But all in all it was needed medicine,
and between the shadow and the light
I confessed myself free,
returning,
as me.
