I shuffle a tarot of words
to write papers for early release
of prisoners in my mind  

I shuffle a tarot of words
to google driving directions
not knowing my destination  

I shuffle a tarot of words
spinning salvation for others
but mostly for myself  

I shuffle a tarot of words
that will spell out S.O.S
in language you can understand

I shuffle a tarot of words
that utter what stuck in my craw
when we parted.  

I shuffle a tarot of words
into a closing argument
before sentence is pronounced    

I cast cards on the ground
to illustrate the story
of what will happen next
