Angel
After breakfast —
half-done eggs and soggy
cereals — kids’ll go
to school; their bags
blinking behind.
Sometimes, I stand
leaning on the doorframe
watching their drudge
to school.
Angel above,
you once looked
after them — cooking
bacon and french
toast, with freshly
pulped juice; wishing
them good luck and good-
bye; not knowing that
one car would be your
final farewell.
Angel above,
no one could ever
watch over us like
you did before; now,
we need you more —
let your guiding
wisdom shape us
and never to forget
that you will always
look after us up
there where you
belong.

CARD DRAWN:

THREE OF WANDS
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.
love the ‘blinking bags’ 🙂
