(...exerpt from a poem by Leonard Cohen) "...As you undress you sing out,and your voice is magnificent because now you believe it is the first human voice heard in that room. The garments you let fall grow into vines. You climb into bed and recover the flesh. You close your eyes and allow them to be sewn shut. You create an embrace and fall into it. There is only one moment of pain or doubt as you wonder how many multitudes are lying beside your body, but a mouth kisses and a hand soothes the moment away."

...close ...very close ...maybe I used a quote too obscure clue... the answer is in the action of the poem

The Lovers?

... well Two of Wands, that was my next thought too - but I thought two chances were enough, and I shouldn't hog the thread :)

death?

The baton is passed to two of wands! The name of the poem is "You Have the Lovers". ...jmd, That is very thoughtful and sporting of you. Best of luck on the next post.:P

Thanks Xouroboros. That was a very haunting piece of writing, very interesting, but unnerving at the same time. Well chosen though; helps to expand on the card. Right well for the next one... you'll have to wait while I think of one!
