The Napowrimo.net prompt for Day 27 is to pick a tarot card and write a poem about ‘the images or ideas that are associated with it’. My poem is inspired by the Two of Cups, and partly influenced by side 1 of David Sylvian’s Brilliant Trees album.

National Poetry Writing Month 2018, Day 23
The Napowrimo.net prompt for Day 23 posed a bit of a challenge for me, since I spend a lot of time alone.
