Quickly grabbed up in cloth,
The witch shakes and tosses a bag of bones.
She holds modern ways for this ancient art;
Bones, shells and curios fall to observe ones' life
And the reader will offer customers guidance.
The Past is done,
The Present is now,
And the Future has been won;
A doll worries as the bat flies
But the amethyst stone will calm those cries
As that cat foot offers up the wishbone
And the metal angel seems to watch on...

Author Notes
NaPoWriMo Writing Prompt Day 19 - I didn't want to rant in a poem. However, I did write a poem for today.
NOTE: I had a Bones Reading on a vacation to Texas in March 2021. It was different. I wasn't sure what was going on in my session. I found it to be somewhat fascinating. So, I bought a book for Modern Practitioners. And I actually read it from cover to cover. It's not a simple thing to do like palm readings. This is a learnt craft and it varies because it comes from different cultures. In this country, it's a melting pot of bones...Hahahahaha. Outside of reading the planets and stars, this can be deemed as the first method of fortune telling. I understand better now and it's truly wild. And now, when am I getting a Tea Leaves Reading? Oft.
