Life Lines

by April Bulmer
Life Lines is a series of poems designed to help you, the reader, to divine the future and even experience God.
Simply ask the book a question and open the little text to a poem. Focus on a line or two or the whole piece. The verses are designed as unusual (or even odd) forms of fortune and are intended to trigger your mind, memory and own psychic powers.
Please use it with the source of light and love in your heart.
Samples
20: Howl
Draw down the moon.
The skull or knuckle bone.
Blood a white pool.
I had a barren she-dog once.
Her rag of a dress, too.
The shade of clabbered milk
or wool.
43: Wed
Your heart is a Bible,
the sheets torn and read.
You are Scripture,
psalm, a Hebrew hymn.
Last night, you built
a raft from the cedars of Lebanon.
Animals balanced like Jesus,
birds sang from baskets
the women carried on.
Do not leave me, love,
though I am neither
beast nor fowl,
but a lily planted
at the edge of my dream.
A flower like a broken bell
silently calling:
unroot me, please.
