The Goddess Deck
the cards say it all
expanding my understanding
with the universal connection they hold
I am the ace of staves
and you are the world reversed
overindulging in muted sensuality
disillusioning with its draw
I was once the princess of pentacles
idolizing you as the sun
but Tara brings new beginnings
inspiring the spark of creative growth
I’m wading through shallow waters
making my way to the shore
a decision has been made on both sides
and now I’m happy to oblige
some Ethiopian soul jazz
will keep me raging through the night
visiting various barstools
to soak up the attention
of satanic mechanics and laborers alike
I’ve got no real interest
but like the validation
unfuck to find a cure
while I process this
I may not be your ideal
but I’ve got it on lock
from the neck up
the men of this city won’t let me
forget where the beauty lies
I’d like to thank them all together
but I’ve only got one set of thighs
it’s sweet knowing I could have it at will
after a confusing emotional whirlwind
that’s lingering still
I’m afraid my strength would leave
if I were to see you tonight
but the love that’s held me up
only brings me closer to the light
there are worlds opening within me
and the timing seems about right
