Anguishy Sun And Moon Cards Superimposed In The Gyp Tarrochi by Arturo Desimone

ANGUISHY SUN AND MOON CARDS SUPERIMPOSED IN THE GYP TARROCHI

I just saw sky gray ancient and young as mother of pearl
triumphant over gray of newspaper,
triumphant as a whore–

I cannot tell Sun from Moon
I cannot tell them apart–
Help me

I am full of spirits
moving up
and down

I am a Maccabee
Roman horses draw,
quarter me, shadow of Aryan sun-clock–
