Queen of Wands (RWS Tarot)
5/22/2022
Remember the sunflower—

the desire to open all of the windows in
spring, the recall of nighttime strolls
in Arizona when the heat omitting
from the pavement was intense
enough to make you sweat your balls
off,

or the hollowness of our time
in Colorado
when the light was so bright
it burned my lips,

I remember everything,

Alaska and Wisconsin,
Texas and Oregon

all of the states, and
now

just momentum forward,
cat at my feet, and sunflower
in the hall
by the doorway

where the light hits from overhead
just right.
