Flaming Hair
Fiery and bright
And severely put –
I glide to you
Though even moths
Dancing in a bonfire
Die in a wisp
In a dazzling light
Your furnace outside
My coals break within
Tossing embers and stone
And cut-up twigs
Engulf my face
With your shampoo
And make me breathe
The ashes of your
Cemented dreams

THIS IS THE TAROT CHALLENGE, a 78-day writing challenge where everyday I pick out a random card from my tarot deck and write something about, against, inspired by, based on the card by the day’s end. The works can range from poetry to fiction to drama. When the card is from the major arcana, the title of the work should be the card name. When the card is from the minor arcana, the title can be different but the card drawn should be revealed at the end.
