By Leah Fleming
I should have known better
when The Devil entered my relationship sector
facing downwards.
And you left me that message
asking
for another late night
of shifting gears
and sweat-streaked leather.
The Six of Swords followed
reversed
a reminder of your bipolar disorder
and your dependence on the bottle.
My friend would not help,
Nine of Swords down,
too concerned with her own readings
and facing her own battles.
So I will have to resist you myself,
my only tools
The Goddess
and The Knight of Wands
facing up.

Thank you Anne again for the feedback! I really do appreciate it. I will check back for more of your comments and conversation starters. 🙂
Great poem. I liked the use of face up and face down references.
