The number six
card in the 
Celtic Cross reveals the
near future,

Death.

The image- skeletal, sometimes
on horseback, or a
reaper,
inevitable,
expressionless, jars something
loose at the cellular level,
shortens the breath,
freezes the eyes, an
instinct to outrun,
deny,
preemptively grieve.

Death is transition, the
closing of a cycle and the
opening of new life, an end of
a shared life, the start of an
individual one.

Fresh, yet to be
fleshed , the soul
picked clean to 
reveal bones.
